4th of July

Well, we had an eventful 4th of July! Tuesday night, Michael and I headed out to Lake Perry to spend the 4th with his parents. Michael's dad has a boat out there and spends most weekends on it. It's fun to hangout. Everyone on the slip are friends and they just chill all weekend, and it's relaxing to just swim and not worry about anything...a mini-vacation! Anyways, so we got out there and took the boat around to the dam just in time to see the first of the fireworks show. It was really good! And, the weather was very calm and nice and cool! It was a good night!

On the 4th, we got up and ate breakfast and laid around. Then, we decided to head out to party cove. It was hot, sunny, and we were ready to get some sun and swimming in! About 15 min after we got out in the water, a radio warning came though saying a storm with 50 mile winds was on it's way. 5 min. later, we saw lightning! You should have seen the people! Everyone out at the cove jumped in their boats and headed for the docks/slips! Seriously, it reminded me of survival of the fittest! Everyone wanted to beat the others to the dock! The storm headed in pretty fast, it was a little difficult to get into our slip with the choppy water and wind, but we made it. It rained like crazy with some lightning and thunder and lots of wind! Here's some pictures! Once it calmed down, we had a good grilled dinner and a movie, then headed back to the city! FYI - I sent my picts in to Fox 4 news, they showed them on the lake report! My few seconds of fame!
