We celebrated another 4th of July with a long camping weekend with some of our favorite peeps! While our guest list has changed a bit over the years, we still have a few of our besties who have attended each and every 4th with us over the past 5 years, rain or shine. When Clint and I were putting our guest list together we decided that we honestly have some of the best friends with the best kiddos in the entire world!
We celebrated the day of the 4th with some fun kid fireworks and then Clint did his big show on the 5th. This year I decided to video tape it so that he could actually see his show and therefore didn't get any pictures. As always his show was spectacular and earned a lot of oohs and awes throughout it.
Because of the large amounts of time we spent in the water over this beautiful weekend I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked to. But by Sunday I think our pink cheeks and permanent smiles showed just how much fun we'd all had. In fact none of us wanted to pack up and head back to reality.
While normally we make this just a 3 day trip we decided to take advantage of the 85 degree plus weather that was being forecasted and extend our trip to cover the actual 4th (which fell on a Thursday) and make it a 4 day trip. Our extended weekend included lots of friends, a spectacular firework show, great food, smores' (and one of our new favorites fire roasted banana boats), lots of dogs, an entire day floating the lake, some fishing, lots of sun and of course sunscreen. Tons of laughter, and one small accident that left Clint and I in the emergency room until 4am on Monday morning with a burned hand and a bit of a burned ego. Aside from the er visit, there is nothing I would have changed about the weekend.
