4th of July Recap

 

On the 4th, we went to White Oak Lake and enjoyed spending a fun day celebrating the founding of our country with some friends! We missed Dad and Mom not being there. They couldn't come because of a pressing situation that came up. 
We got the kayaks out pretty quickly and had some fun trips!
We were able to get pretty close to an egret and took some shots as it flew away.

Volleyball game in action!
Walking the trails.
We wrapped up the day with exploring the Little Grand Canyon.
