Land of the Free! Home of the Brave!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY, EVERYONE!!!
I have decided that the 4th is one of my most favorite holidays.  There's nothing much better than a warm summer day, BBQ'ing with family and friends, four-wheeling, and ending with some spectacular fireworks. 
Plus I can't resist the color combination of Red, White, and Blue.

Happy Birthday America!!!
By request from just about everyone (ok EVERYONE!!!) in my family, we decided to spend the 4th at our Cabin.  We obviously love it up there and look for any chance to get up there.  It was great.  We took a picnic lunch (hot dogs for dinner), the four-wheelers, day old bread (for the fish), and a WHOLE bunch of yummy goodies to eat.  Couldn't have asked for a better day.

This time we also decided to feed the fish at Big Springs!  When we got there, however, we discovered that the fish were few and far between, and what's left was about a BAZILLION seagulls.  I'm not sure what happened to the fish (do seagulls eat fish?), but pretty sure only the birds benefited from our little trip.
STUPID BIRDS!!! (seriously there was poop EVERYWHERE!)
After we (us and the birds) ate our little hearts out and got the girls (and cabin) cleaned up, we headed to the Island Park Resevoir where we watched the fireworks show they put on there.  My SIL's family has a cabin right on the shore and we got front row seats on their dock.  It was AMAZING!!!  It may just become a new tradition!

So while we were waiting for the show to start I wanted to take a picture of the girls and Mark.  I couldn't see anything until after the flash, and well, needless to say, they thought they were pretty funny.
 In this picture you can see the fireworks reflecting off the water.  It was beautiful!
 Surprisingly, Miss Lucy, slept through the WHOLE show!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
