LET FREEDOM RING!

The 4th of July could quite possibly be my favorite hoilday! There is just something about summer time, fireworks, cookouts, and family/friends time that absolutely gets me!

We had an amazing, yet uneventful, long weekend. Coleman was at his dads from Saturday morning until about Sunday around 3ish. I went and picked him up and we went out on the boat on Lake Lanier. It was a great plan (in our heads) to go out and swim, fish, take a boat ride out to Lake Lanier Islands and watch the fireworks from the water. Well us and everyone else in the northern part of Georgia.

It was fun, a rough ride, but fun. We saw fireworks from every different side of the lake. We could barely see the LLI fireworks but we saw enough of everyone elses to satisfy our need.

Moving on to the boat we were in... the funniest part of the sitatuion was that we were in the SMALLEST boat on the lake. Now, Aaron's boat is not small, for a bass boat. But apparently, we were the ONLY ones on the lake in a bass boat going to watch the fireworks. So as you can imagine the ride felt like we were in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean running head first though a hurricane. It was bad!!! We quickly realized that we needed to get out of the cluster of 250+ boats we were in before everyone started to leave a we got run over! It was a madhouse out there!

All in all, we had a GREAT weekend. Just what we needed .. just to be together.

Pictures to come!!!
