I hope everyone had a nice holiday! We had a pretty good 1-Although it started out raining we decided to head out to my family's cabin off the Illinois river as planned...As we traveled the highway and getting through the storm-We had a bit of a storm of our own going on. The hubby and I had a tiff -Because what I saw as "typical" for him being "cranky" about taking a trip to the cabin and visiting my family. Although we take a 3-4 hr. trip to visit his family all the time and he makes sure we do no-matter what. For instance-just a few days ago my son had a Dr's appt.(more on that in an upcoming post) and my hubby couldn't take off work for it since he has no more vacation time. But, we're planning to visit his family in the up-coming weeks I thought we'd have to leave Sat. since he doesn't have vacation time-Oh! But of course he's trying to finagle his way to be able to leave Fri.-again all "typical" in my mind. Anyways once we vented a bit -We got over it. And back to being on our way to a fun 4th of July...
On our way-we stopped at 1 of my Fav. places -The Castle in Muskogee! In July they sell fireworks,Christmas time they have a huge display of Christmas blow-up decorations, and in May of course they have a Renaissance Fair. So we bought fireworks there and then stopped to eat lunch at this place with a bull on top and pretty cool decorations inside too and of course pretty good food.
Then back on the road -We finally got to the cabin and it stopped raining! Our cabin is a 
primitive place in the woods-It has electricity at least but,no running water-So it's more or less like camping. We had fun-we swam in the river,the kids even went fishing,we got back to the cabin-ate dinner,and of course-Fireworks! We decorated a little tree-For our 4th if July tree! =D
And after seeing some of the big fireworks we headed out-We didn't stay the night like some other family members. On our way back home we saw fireworks going off in the distance-Everywhere! And at 1st I thought it was just fireworks but,we also saw lightning! So, we were glad to be headed home. We got home pretty late-And unfortunately found a couple ticks when we got back. Once we were all cleaned up we all went to bed. And that was our 4th of July! All in all pretty good.
