Fourth of July Fun

sorry for the outage, our internet has been terrible the past week or so. On the fourth of July we were invited to the fish and game weir downstream from our camp to hang out for the day. We started off around lunchtime with some fishing for kings in the fish and game scow. Why bring the fish to the BBQ when you can bring the BBQ to the fish? Their boat is great because it has a big flat deck so we could anchor it in the river and cook up some lunch while we were fishing.

After fishing we were involved in a horseshoe tournament. James (the weir manager) and I were paired up and won our first game, but then lost in the second round. It was alot of fun though, and I wasn't too embarassing even though I haven't gotten the horseshoe pit here at FRI up and running yet (well, the pit is done but I haven't made any horseshoes).

After horseshoes, fish and game brought our a huge box of expired flares, which are as much fun as fireworks. Here everyone is trying to figure out how to launch the big rocket flares.

The kids, Wyatt and Dalton, got to set off some of the hand held flares and smoke signals. They had a blast with those things.
