4th of July Hoilday

We had a great 4th of July! David and Kellie and the kids came down from Sherman. We played all weekend.
They arrived Thursday night and Friday morning we hit the water running! We rented a boat here at Goodfellow and Dyson tried to ski. He did really well but the first go he sorta forgot to let go of the rope when he fell and felt like he drank the whole lake!:) Needless to say he was pretty much done with that! Then Kaylynn tried and tried and tried,she came so close to getting up but unfortunately close wasn't good enough for her but her body said enough!! Then Kellie gave it a great effort. She did get up and that was all she needed. After all that workout the crew went tubing for a good hour. All finally got tired and we came back to shore. believe it or not all that was only 2 hours. After that we celebrated Dyson's B-Day! He doesn't turn 9 until the 13th of July but Popi and I won't be able to be there that day so we did it early here. We got him a hamburger cake it was so cute!
The next morning we hit the water running again! David skied and got up and went for a while. Popi tried to ski but he pulled his hamstring and that ended that! He is still very tender but thank goodness it wasn't a severe pull. Then the kids went tubing again and had a blast. After all the water activities we all went fishing at my mom's. Kaylynn caught 5 fish. she caught 3 catfish and 2 bass. She was quite thrilled with her adventure! Dyson didn't catch any on his new pole but he took Kellie's cain pole (while we were untangling his) and caught the biggest fish of the day! He was pretty happy!!
The last day we had hambergers and hot dogs and rested. About 7 kellie and I and the kids went fishing again. Kaylynn caught her one catfish and Dyson finally caught a pearch on his new pole! He then declared it to be lucky!
After dark we watched the fireworks here on the base! They were beautiful! I think the kids were pretty impressed.
This morning we got up and drank our coffee and then the kids loaded up and headed back to Sherman.
I did miss Stephen and his family and i missed Ashley and Railee's first 4th;but I did get to say hi on the telephone! Thank goodness for cells!!
Tomorrow GW is going to see his brother and I am gonna stay here and visit mom. I will keep ya posted on our next adventure!!
