Fourth of July

We went on a camping trip to Palisades Lake for the Fourth of July weekend.

Before our trip, we invested in these way fun Kayaks. They have been so much fun!

We went on a "hike" - more like a 100 ft walk - to these waterfalls. Ira and Brayden did go on a bigger hike to the Upper Palisades Lake (about 6 miles each way). They left at 3 am, and just after they left, this really big thunder/lightning storm rolled in. So I didn't sleep the rest of that night, worried that they were somewhere in the mountains struck by lightning. But the storm had passed them somehow. It was a very long night for me, but they loved their sunrise hike.

We got this (old but new to us) trailer a couple of years ago, and it has been such a great investment. We have taken our "home away from home" on several outings - and have so much family fun everytime we go. It's just nice to decide at the last minute that we want to go camping, and most of what we need is already packed...LUV IT!
On our way home, we went to Kelli and Derricks house for our traditional BBQ and firework show. They outdid themselves this year with the BBQ they did. I'm not even sure what the meat is, but they cut it into sandwiches - and MMMmmmmmmmm...they were fabulous!

Our firework show while we waited for the BIG show to begin. Love how they have their ears plugged for those loud whistles.
