We had a great long weekend at Snake Creek Rec Area celebrating the Fourth of July. We were able to get out of town on Thursday afternoon and were welcomed by an awesome campsite with tons of space and an awesome view of the bluffs, it was peaceful and relaxing (once the set up was done ;)).
We spent the Fourth in the river, the first spot we picked out was windy and far from pleasant, so we moved to an area just enough out of the wind and inflated alllllll of our inflatables and enjoyed the sunshine and let the kids explore until the weather turned and we were forced back to the camper for some downtime and naps (amazing!). When the sun came out, we made burgers and had a good old fashioned cookout before going into Platte for their hometown baseball game. It was really fun, the kids get cash for foul balls, so every time one was hit, about 30 kids would chase after it. Our kids kept a safe distance from the hometown chaos, but we got a kick out of watching it all shake down. Fireworks followed the game, it was a great day.
Saturday's weather was perfect, we spent all day in the water, playing catch and floating on floaties, we had a picnic by the water and simply spent the day together, I wish I could bottle it up and dip into that feeling of family when life gets too busy. We took a break from the beach long enough to go into town for ice cream and then dinner, and made our way back for a sunset swim. Perfection.
We returned home on Sunday with full hearts, so thankful for the weekend we had.
