I love July 4 on the lake. It's all about grilling, boat riding and enjoying time with family. If it was about 20 degrees cooler, then I'd call it a perfect holiday. The one thing you can count on at this time of year in Texas is sweating and the need to wear sunscreen. Plus mosquito repellent. And to reapply both after some more sweating.
Last weekend, the family across the bay from us hosted their annual Texas Adaptive Aquafest. A year ago, I was back at the hill country house and missed it. They set it all up a couple days before, and it looked like a good time was had by everyone who attended. In true nosey neighbor fashion, we broke out the binoculars to get a good look at all of the fun going on across the water from us.
I had heard from our neighbors about this now annual event last year, as well as the fireworks show they put on at the end of the evening to cap off a wonderful day of water sports. This year the fireworks lasted for a solid twenty minutes, and we had ringside seats from our back porch. It's such a blessing to see folks in our community pulling together to be the hands and feet of Jesus, providing a fun day on the water for folks who might not normally have the opportunity to enjoy time at the lake with their families. God be praised!
