Fourth of July Camping Trip

This year we spend the 4th at Petit Jean Mountain. This was the first time we have been there. We had so much fun. It is absolutely beautiful there! My mom and dad came up on Saturday to celebrate the 4th with us. We all had a nice time.

Relaxing with a popsicle. Oh, the life!

This is a bike parade they have every year. People gather at the visitor's center and decorate their bikes in red, white and blue. They then bike through all the campgrounds. Halle really wanted to be a part of it, but we decided to watch this year. Maybe we will try it next year.




The girls had so much fun riding their bikes at the campground.



A little water balloon fun.



We took the girls on a small hike called The Rock House Cave.

This is Stout's Point. It has the most breath taking views.



This is where we waited to see the fireworks, that is until it started raining. (That is a whole other story that is really quite amusing. If you are curious, ask me!)




This was a great Fourth of July.


We made a lot of wonderful memories and are hoping to make this a yearly tradition.
