"Fishing for lake trout." {July 4th}


For lake trout?  For lake trout...actually, brook trout.  Whatever.  I wanted to use the quote.




My 4th of July weekend this year was AMAZING.  I was with Hank and his family, so duh, right?  But seriously, it was fabulous, fun, and fantastic.  It started off with Hank, his folks, and I going on a 16 mile bike ride.  So much fun!  And not as hard as it might sound, since it was a paved bike trail and mostly flat.  But it was just lovely, following the lake shore.  So beautiful.  I wanted to take pictures, but I need to figure out a way to bring Jack along so he will be safe and secure.  Anyway, that day ended with a Duck Dynasty marathon, which is always a great way to end the day.



The next day (the 4th) we went fishing at Hank's grandparent's place.  Well, he fished, I took pictures.  I've also been told that his sister, Bonnie, almost hit me on the head when the fish she caught came off the hook and flew through the air.  I was looking the other way, so I didn't even realize it until she told me. *grin*  We spent the rest of the afternoon eating, visiting with Hank's family, and went for a 4 wheeler ride, too.  And we were supposed to spend the evening at a friend's party, but I ended up with a nasty headache (too much heat, not enough water) so Hank took me home.  Which was really sweet of him, as I told him multiple times.


Warning: pictures of a dead fish coming up next. :)





And we finished up the weekend working on our fence at our house...well, it's not my house yet.  But it will be in 73 days. *smile*  I have fencing pictures which I will share with you all later.


So what did you do on Independence Day?  I want to know!

Happy Independence Day! I'm looking forward to fun filled evening of fellowship, yummy food, music, and dancing at Kellie's.  And once we get back home, a hike up the mountain behind our house to watch the Silverwood theme park fireworks show.  Tradition!

So, these pictures were actually taken in April, but I never got around to sharing them.  I'm wearing this outfit today, for obvious reasons. *smile*
I love wearing my Captain America shirt.  It's so much fun pairing it with different prints and colors, and I think it looks fantastic with the gingham!  I'd love to pair it with a larger gingham print at some point.  I think it would look super cute.
I ordered a Juniors size, and I love the more fitted look.  The crew neck felt a bit too tight to me, and I've altered the neckline slightly since these pictures were taken.  Very slightly - all I did was trim the collar part off, but left a seam.  Now it looks much more finished and less t-shirty, if you know what I mean.  I'll share pics at some point...maybe. *wink*
Happy Trails y'all!
