Every 3rd of July (yes, 3rd) a buddy of mine and his wife throw a party…hot dogs, hamburgers, ice cream…basic stuff.

The big draw, though, is the 100ft slip’n'slide.

They have a killer hill in their front yard, and over the past couple years have made it a little more extreme by placing a ramp under it about halfway down that, if hit just right, will launch you into an inflatable pool…if not hit just right…well, that’s a different story.

I think it’s worth noting here that there is NEVER any alcohol at these parties.
Also not at these parties: common sense!

Hugging our daughter at the airport when she returns home from school for the first time since Christmas. Then watching her look of surprise when she sees how tall her “little” brothers have grown. Priceless!

Not sure exactly what you’re looking for, but we go in at Ulrich Landing and wade around. I like it because with three kids between 2-4 I never feel it gets too high (about my belly button). At first this summer there was a lot of silt, but each week we go back it clears out more. We have found Crawdad’s, tadpoles, baby frogs, lots of fish and the kids just have a great time. We set up a picnic lunch on what would be sandbars if they weren’t so rocky and spend almost every Thursday at the river. Y’all are welcome to join us some week.

The river, the family, friends, and canoes. Not to leave out a campfire with hotdogs and smores at the end of an all day float.

Have you ever made iced tea with Bee Balm leaves! Put enough sugar in it and it will beat any sweet tea out there, I promise!!

Floating on my floatie in the pool and blackberry cobbler with blackberry ice cream!
BBQ meat for dinner, fresh corn on the cob, hammocks, good books and warm nights! Church outside in the ampitheater!
