Summer days are for Snow Cones, and Troy loved his, when we made Snow Cones yesterday!
Troy is incredibly good at skateboarding!

When my son picks me blackberries! So adorably sweet of him (and they're yummy)! :)
From sitting outside and talking...
They even had fireworks that we could see from our campsite!
And...this great waterslide was at the resort's pool!
Bree and I also went to Pigeon Forge and toured "The Titanic" Museum," while Justin and Troy rode Go Karts.
For a little while during our tour, Bree and I were different people. We boarded "The Titanic" as Augusta Lindblom (Bree) and Amelia Lemore (me). Okay, we weren't really different people, we just represented them at this great museum. Bree's person did not survive the wreckage, my person did...yes, we found out during our tour what happened to the people whom we held the "Boarding Passes" for. Upon seeing the wall with the survivors listed, I discovered the person who I represented was an Optometrist, who married a black dude who ended up leaving her husbandless. We loved walking the "Grand Staircase." The Captain told some incredible stories (so incredible, I bought his book), and Bree and I will remember this birthday of mine (yes, we did this on my birthday) for the rest of our lives. Oh! And...I was secretly happy that upon viewing our "Boarding Passes," I found that each of the people we represented were older than I am now. Maybe...just maybe turning 29 (again) isn't so old after all! I'm not really that old now that I think about it! From the "Boarding Passes," to the maid greeting us at the bottom of the "Grand Staircase," and seeing Bree smile from ear to ear as the maid said to her as she walked in, "Welcome, Madam," from Bree's conversation with the maid who told her how expensive the linoleum floor at the entrance of the staircase was back in the time the ship was built (now, it's not so expensive), and even to the necklace Bree got...memories were made. Justin and I have taken this tour of "The Titanic" before, but Bree hadn't. I'm happy me and her got to do this. Seeing her eyes light up with the appreciation she had of the history there...it was awesome! Happy Birthday to Me...yes, Happy Birthday to Me! :)
Then...today, we hooked the camper back up, and we came home. We have a lot of memories that we've brought home with us! :)
Today, I celebrate the 1st day of vacation as well as the 4th of July. I'm thankful for the freedom we get to celebrate, this place we call home, and the people we get to share this land with. I'm thankful for our Almighty God who has blessed this nation over and over again. There's no better place to live on Earth, and I am thankful to call America my country.
Happy 4th of July! :)
This year we spent the 4th of July with family and friends. We went to the lake to some friends' cookout and Retirement Party, then we went and saw the local fireworks show with some more friends.
