The holiday weekend is finally upon us. We had lots of options for celebrating this 4th of July, but with a summer full of trips just about every weekend we decided to hang around the KC area. So what do people in KC do? They go to “the lake.” Which lake you ask? Any of them within a few hours drive. I’ve noticed that people here pick one of the lakes as their lake of choice, and that lake then becomes known as “the lake” to those individuals. Which lake do our friends call home? Smithville Lake (this is the best site I can find). We will be spending most of the weekend in, on and around this lake. Doni’s parents have graciously allowed us use of their motor home. I guess it is already parked in one of the campgrounds, waiting for our arrival. We also have a tent to use, since it looks like the weather will be really nice for camping. The Martins also have a boat up on the lake and there is talk of us renting a pontoon boat for half of tomorrow. It sounds like it should be one heck of an extended weekend!
