OK, so of course we went camping, but we did do all of the other mandatory 4th of July stuff: the parade, fireworks, etc...we just did it our own way.
We were camped in the Fishlake National Forest but we started out the 4th with a parade... Of four huge bull elk. This was pretty impressive. We were driving up to a mountain lake to go paddling and came around the corner to see this.
Then that night we hiked to the edge of a huge cliff and sat there and watched the firework displays of three different towns. It was great! Then we went back to our camp and gave each kid a bunch of glow-sticks and I messed around with the dials of my camera and got some pretty funky shots.
Then the next day I went on a solo walk and took some fun photos...
Some of my favorite flowers are Columbine and I'd never seen pure white before.
On Saturday we went kayaking but I couldn't get my dog to keep ahold of the paddle. I ended up doing most of the rowing myself.
There was this beautiful meadow across from the lake and Maren let me snap some photos of her... 
It was a fun trip, as usual!
