Independence Day

This 4th of July was definitely a unique experience. It was a lot of fun and I had a great time, but things were just a little different than our traditional Independence Day. Normally, my family spends every 4th out at Horn Island. This year, we had to make new plans due to the fact that the island is closed because of the oil spill. Not to mention, we couldn't get our boat out of the bayou (it is closed off w/booms) if we tried. So instead, on Saturday, we made a river run!!! Our good friend Jonathan took us out on his boat and we met some friends up the river. It was a lot of fun, but still no island. Every sandbar was PACKED w/people, so we stopped at a friend's camp and hung out there all day. Sunday we had a cookout at my parent's house with lots and lots of good food, family, friends, and fireworks!!!! I hope everyone else had a great 4th of July!

Here are some photos of the festivities:

God Bless the USA!!!
