July 4th

July 1-4, 2011, Friday - Monday - 4th of July Weekend - Great weekend at the lake with family and friends. We had awesome weather and a relaxing time. Very blessed to have family and special friends join us for some fun.
Papa and Chad helped Nathan with his first rocket launch. It was a success. Photo below of the smoke trail. Before headed home on Monday we decided to take a side trip to Fairy Stone National Park. Nana had told the kids about taking my brothers and me there a long, long time ago and searching for fairy stones. Nathan had it in his mind & just had to go. We found the park, but the actual place you find the stones was beside a very old gas station. We had fun searching for stones. It was more difficult than Chad and the kids imagined, but it was still fun. I was surprised that we were able to find so many after all these years of people picking them up.
