The RV park where we work celebrated Independence Day a day early because it was Sunday. So last night we got to drive around the park with the kids and the old folks together under a canopy of pine and Cedar trees and the night sky.
With the smell of campfires and smores, we wound around the RV park while waving at all the campers lined up along the little parade route.
Kids on decorated bikes, dogs and various family members made the trek behind the lead truck and the park's old military Jeep.
We were honored to be serenaded along the way by a military band member and Vietnam vet who played the fight songs of all the branches of the military on his trumpet.
Today, Independence Day 2016, we got the chance to tool around the lake in a little motorboat and Bob tried to figure out his new fishing pole. The weather was perfect and the lake was up after a devastating drought last year that saw the water level down lower than anyone could remember.
