4th of July in Memphis

We headed to Memphis for the 4th. Greg's family is from Memphis. His sister Jane lives on a lake and has an annual 4th of July party. A fun filled weekend with a boat parade, fishing contest and fireworks on the lake. Great memories!!!
The annual boat Parade. We decorated Aunt Jane's boat and joined the others for a very fun stroll on the lake. The private lake is only a 1/2 mile long and about 100 meters wide.

This is what we looked like most of the weekend, just chilling in the lake!

Sara fishing in the fishing contest!

Her winning catch!! 2 perch and a small bass. She won the girls contest! She was so excited. Yes, Joe fished and fished and fished...all weekend. He was so disappointed he didn't catch ANYTHING! and let em tell you lately fishing is the only thing Joe wants to do. He finally caught a fish the morning we were leaving.

Finished the weekend off at the famous DRY rib restaurant, Rendezvous! We Texans discovered we like a messy rib, not the dry stuff. Although a very cool destination and worth going!

Thanks Aunt Jane for the memories!!!
