Happy 4th of July from NC!

We had a wonderful Independence Day out on Lake Tillery with my family!

Saturday was spent getting the boat ready for it's first outing of the season.
Wash and wax the boat, clean and oil the teak platform, change the oil, transmission fluid, vacuum out the boat, load up the rope, skis and life jackets, make sure we've got the registration, and we're almost ready to go to the lake!
Ali's all tuckered out from helping get the boat ready.
That's a lot of hard work!
Ali driving the boat... literally!
Uncle Dru taught her how to press on the gas to make it GO!!!
Now she's ready to go skiing...
... and swimming w/ Uncle Dru!
I love you Dru! You mean the world to me... and to Ali!
You're an amazing brother and best friend - I'm SO proud of you!

Happy 4th!
Fireworks on the lake...
Monday before Dru flew back to Beaufort, we took a little spin in the Aeronica Champ.
Fun little tail wheel plane!

...and we're ready to go again!

Ali loves the farm!
It's so neat to show Ali where I grew up...

Now, for a lesson on how to drive the tractor...
She's a natural!
Beautiful setting... the country version of our family photo!
All Done!

The true beauty of NC in the country

Look at all the humming birds!!!
This looks like a time phased shot, but it's not.
The day lilies that we planted just before our wedding.
All this fun, and the week has just begun!
