Update on all things McDaniel......

Busy, busy, busy!! Busy playing that is!!! Since JF came home we have spent all of June and this first part of July playing hard!! I remember when JF first came home and told me he had payed vacation until the 10Th of July I could not think of what we were going to do with all that free time together, but we have definitely figured it out! We have spent most of our time swimming at every pool, reservoir, and river within a 100 mile radius, plus LOTS of fishing. We have also ate way more fast food than our bank account and waistlines will allow!! It's all been so great though, A couple weeks ago JF, me and the boys were sitting at a restaurant we love, when JF told me he felt happy again for the first time in a long time. I'm so glad he is home!! We had an awesome finish to our super-long vacation this past weekend celebrating the 4Th of July. We went boating with A wonderful family, the Taylor's, who were nice enough to let us tag along in their boat. We went to Anderson Ranch reservoir, which is out near Mountain Home, and we spent the whole day riding the tube behind the boat, having lunch, and even a little fishing! When we came home that night, we managed to get ourselves together and drive downtown to watch the fireworks at Ann Morison park. I had my little family with me, all of us laying on a blanket watching the beautiful fireworks. It was such a great feeling. Now JF heads back to work tomorrow, however I have a feeling we still have some playing left to do this summer.....
