We had a great kickoff to the holiday weekend! Scott, the kids, and I took the boat out on Friday and did some fishing. Or, rather, Scott and G did some fishing, while Ava and I hung out in the back and enjoyed the scenery, and tried to stay cool. To be fair, I caught the first fish of the day using G's fishing rod, but then he did an amazing job and probably caught approximately 10 fish for the rest of the time we were on the lake. He loved it!
It was super hot out, though, so I think we were all happy when the fishing adventure came to an end, and we were able to get into the air-conditioned truck and head back to our house. We had enough sun for the day, so we spent the rest of the time indoors (Scott stayed outside and visited with the neighbors, but I needed to hydrate and stay cool inside with the kids.)
On Saturday, G and I headed over to a neighbor/friend's house and they enjoyed their pool, little splash pad, and lawn games, while I had a chance to catch up with my friend. It was a good way to get some fresh air, with little exertion on my part. I think I'm still wiped out from Friday.
With the pandemic still in full swing, our normal 4th of July fireworks viewing has changed, so fireworks is a bit different this year. There are some neighborhood viewings, but honestly, we're fine to be inside, and not on the roads, with all of the crazies who are lighting off big fireworks and not being safe about it.
Make a wish!
Happy Independence Day, America! Here's hoping that the end of this birthday year (2020) is going to be drastically better than the first part!
