We headed to cooler weather for the 4th of July this year. We left a day earlier than planned and got to spend the night with my parents, which was fun. We definitely don't do that as much as we need to....plans to change that! The morning of the 4th found us up and on the road ready to go. We got to Dave's parent's house early afternoon which was good. It was still warm (where was the cooler weather??), but the kiddos were ready to go and wanted to show me the creek (it's been a few years since I've been to the cabin just due to other things that happened to hit at the same time as planned cabin weekends). We headed down to the creek, and I saw all the fishing spots!
After a hot hike back to the house, we cooled off and waited for the guests. Chuck, Kathy, Mary, Lily and two other friends came over to eat and hang out sans fireworks due to fire restrictions in the area. Instead of fireworks, the kids got to do tattoos and glow sticks!
After a yummy dinner, they got out a drone that one of the friends had brought with them. The kiddos had a good time watching him try to get it started, fly and ultimately land it. It's quite a process. I had no idea you had to have a permit/license to fly the drone. WOW!
We ended the night with a walk back down to the creek. There's just something magical about the freedom to just be when we are up there.
Finishing the 4th together.
