July 4th weekend...

Is it time to go back to work???
This has been a very nice relaxing weekend.
On Friday Russ got up and went to play golf with our friend Max Norman and Max's brother Mark at the Air Port while I stayed at home and WAS going to clean house. Well, That didn't happen! ha-ha My brother Tony and my nephew Landon got here around 10:30 to pick up our boat. They used it to watch Fireworks from the river in Florence. After he left I got ready to go to the river as soon as Russell got home to spend the 4th with our friends Gary, Elizabeth & Andrew. Gary's parents live on the Elk river so we had a nice time at the Howard's. Gary's Brother and his family was there and they had invited another couple to join in on the fun day. We took Gary's niece and her two girlfriends out on the river in a big 3 person tube. I didn't take my camera so I didn't get any pictures. Later that night we all took Mr Howard's pontoon out and watched the fireworks off the river. There was at least 3 very nice firework displays going on. I just wish I had my camera to share all the fun we had.
On Saturday Russ went for a bike ride while I took a nap while he was gone. When he got home we got ready for the day and went out for brunch. We had to go meet up with my brother to pick the boat up from him. We met him at Joe Wheeler, Russ and I took the boat out to do some fishing. I took the camera, but i didn't check the batteries before hand so I didn't get any pictures of the fish we caught. But I did get a few landscape pictures. We didn't get to stay out very long. We kept hearing thunder. Plus we had to get home to feed our babies.

We (Russ) caught a bass off this point.
It was a nice size small mouth, but not big enough to keep.
We never keep them anyway. We all ways catch and release.

The water was rough at times, although you can't tell it here.


Remember I said we kept hearing thunder... We never got rained on!

We hope you all had a nice 4th of July Weekend!

Love, Lisa & Russ
