Happy Independence Day, friends!
We had a pretty great day even though it wasn't a typical 4th of July for us. Carl worked first thing in the morning then mowed the yard. I packed our lunch and we went to the river (in 2 boats and 1 jet ski) for 3 people (insert eye roll) around 11.

Trey, aka Rowdy Rooster, with his boat
Me and my love
Makena just chillin'
The sandbar was really crowded but we came early enough to find a good spot.
Headed back to the landing so someone can go check rice water.
Such a kill joy :(
We actually had to go back home anyway so we could get ready for the party at our house.
Makena, Wrenley, and Pop enjoying their yummy desserts!
She loves dessert and her Aunt "Ky"
Carlie and Caleb, ready to light fireworks!
Me and Wrenley were counting down for them to light sparklers
I know it wasn't dark, but she was getting tired and we were about to get eaten up by mosquitos.

In the words of Wrenley, "yay!"
And that's all folks!
It was a great holiday; too bad everyone has to go back to work tomorrow! Well, everyone except me and Trey. His boss has a house on the Arkansas River and would live there if he could.
I am thankful that we live in the United States. Do I agree with everything that has happened in the past 4 years? Absolutely not. I am, however, still thankful that we live in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Much Love,
Beth
