Patrick's home from Georgia. 4th of July Fun

Patrick came home from Georgia!! So we drug him along to all sorts of fun times. Melissas friends came out for 4th of July. Patrick is giving Jessica a big Independence Day hug as we all watched the fireworks in Halfway.
He was only home for a couple weeks in June. A couple of his classmates also made the trip out to experience Hells Canyon. Leigh is from Florida, and Phil is from Pennsylvania. They enjoyed a jet boat trip down into Hells Canyon and as you can see from the following pictures, also enjoyed time on the river catching fish. We enjoyed having them visit.

Melissa joined the kids on the party barge to catch some fish.
It's not how big they are, it's how many you can catch.
Of course, it doesn't hurt to catch a big one either.
