July 4th Fun!

Our three day weekend began with Bennett taking off to go deep sea fishing in Calabash, NC with his buddy Kevin.

Jeff and I went kayaking on Lake Lure. It was our first time there and we saw beautiful scenery plus...

grey heron and turtles sunning themselves along rocks and fallen branches.

I'm paddling Bennett's boat

while Jeff's paddling our boat. It's a little harder to control! On July 4th, we visited Camp Joy in Hendersonville to celebrate their 30th year! Nancy and Pete were greeters...

Olivia and a friend helped set up the Silent Auction area.

Late afternoon, we had a cook out with Mom and Dad. We shared rib eyes and shrimp on the grill - and salad and corn on the cob!
