Fantastic Fourth

One of our favorite family times at Smith Lake is during the fourth of July. Although the lake is more crowded and the waves are rough at times, it is so much fun to swim, ski, tube, grill out, and watch the fireworks! This year, Judd's brother, Charlie, and family came over Thursday night and spent Friday with us. The cousins had a great time together, as did their parents! Next year, we look forward to having all four Wilson boys and their families, as well as the parental units to the lake for some summer fun!

Hey, this doesn't go very fast!


Now we know why Smith Lake is the 3rd cleanest lake in the US and not the 2nd...thanks for christening the lake, Charlie!

 
Charlie Pierce caught on quick to kneeboarding.

 
So did Allie!

 
Mary Conlee loves to hit the waves!

 
First time up in over 15 years. Good job, Charlie!
