Check out this homemade slip and slide…we were very tempted to go up there and ask if we could just go down it just once..bc it looked like so much fun…it went right down into the lake…and the kids were going down it FAST!!!

We decided to stay at night for the fireworks show too..we had asked the game warden if there was any spot on the lake to go to watch some good fireworks..so he told us where to be..

Apparently the other boats know about this spot too..bc everyone was all huddled around…it was packed out there…

and it was a good show….It was neat watching them from the boat…and to see the reflection off of the lake…will def do it again next year!!
