What a better way to say "Happy Birthday" to America than by camping?? Well at least that is how we wanted to celebrate.... We loaded up the RV with good food & cold beer and headed out to Jimm Hogg for a few days. Two other families also headed out with us - Jared & Felisha and Markus & Constanze. Amanda & Emily did not get to go this time as they went to their Dad's for the weekend.
We spent the 4th relaxing in the lake, eating great food and just hanging out.
Dog even had a great time!
Oh, what studs!
Markus made an awesome brisket in his smoker for dinner.
We were under a burn ban so no fireworks or ground fires. Smores on the grill are just not the same so the guys set up a "big screen" on the side of the RV, to play the Wii and watch movies. We watched Shrek the Third and had popcorn instead of having a camp fire. We ate homemade ice cream and watched Dodge Ball on the "big screen" again the next night. 
We had fun fishing even if the fish were not biting.
Hayden had the neatest "Dragon" kite. He and Allie had a blast trying to get it to fly. The key word is trying....
It was a busy yet relaxing weekend for all.
Looks like you guys had fun! Wish we could have been there with you!
ReplyDeleteSmoking brisket, grilling ribeye steaks, watching movies on the side of the trailer... Now THAT is camping deluxe! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures (as always).
