This last 4th of July weekend we had a full schedule. It started on the 3rd actually with a dinner cruise on the river to celebrate Luke's grandma's 80th birthday. Lots of family came to town and it was quite fun and really pretty. The next day we headed off to camp to celebrate the 4th. We went with Nadene and Drew and the kids up to the Blue Mtns. here in the Tri-Cities. We did all sorts stuff. We took a very scenic, but scary drive up the mountain. When we got the the top of the mountain the scary drive was all worth it. The view was AMAZING! We also went fishing in the nearby lakes, splashed around in the river, walked around in the woods looking for bear poop (can you believe that?...found some though), had target practice with the beebee gun (Gavin has a new passion), lit fireworks, etc. We saw lots of snakes, deer (Luke and Wyatt saw a six-point early Sunday morning), and we also saw a Bobcat while we were taking a walk just down from our camp. That was pretty cool :-) AND of course Nadene and I both forgot our cameras at home...soooooooooo MAD!
