OUR FOURTH-2013

Tracy, hubby and I met Kim and family at Heber Springs, Ar. for the fourth.  We rented a cabin on the river.  It was not our first choice but we we waited  too long and all the cabins on the lake were already rented.  We will reserve earlier for next year.  It was actually quite interesting staying on the river though.  You just never know what you may see floating down the river.

Our fourth celebration started with us all arriving about the same time in the afternoon on the fourth.  We grilled hamburgers and hot dogs.  We also had baked beans, chips, cantaloupe and later on watermelon.

We had a long pier that led down to the dock.  Abby is fishing from the dock.  She didn't know it, but her fishing pole didn't even have a hook on it, so there was no way she was going to catch a fish.

The river and interesting things on the river.















There were almost always geese either going up or down on the river.

We think this was a vulture.  It stayed in the tree for a long time.

This man is fly fishing.










This day there was a fog coming off the river.














The dog had on a life jacket.  Abby thought this was pretty funny.

We also did sparklers the night of the fourth.

The beach on the lake that we wanted to stay on.  Abby loved it.  It was just a huge sand box to her.

So cute and Abby was happy to show them off.
