This year we had one of the best 4th of july's that I can remember. Our friend, Tyler was staying with us, and our friends Tim&Melissa and their daughter Lacey, were in town. I was just looking forward to having friends that we have known an long time with us, hanging out, doing a lot of nothing.
Tim&Melissa rented a pontoon boat for the day. We traversed through back roads to get to a beautiful lake.
Melissa freaked out that the pontoon was a millionaire's yacht, and the boat was quickly named "hoboat". The other day I heard this song on the radio and I think it's the perfect theme song to the day. Change the words "motor boating" to "hoboating" and it's perfect.
The boat was slow, so we let the kids drive it, and let them fish from it, while driving.
We parked at what the boat rental placed called "the beach". It was no resemblance of that. Just a place where you could tie your boat to a tree on the bank and go swimming.
We drove further and let the kids go fishing for real. And Lacey caught a fish!
After our afternoon on the boat we decided to go find some fireworks. We parked at the Football Hall of Fame and watched the fireworks from there.
It was a pretty perfect 4th of July.
