Every fourth of July, the lake that my parents live at has a lighted boat parade. We love picking a theme and decorating every year and the kids REALLY love it! This year we did a Safari theme.
Here are the pictures of the finished product...

It was the first year that the two littlest kids were allowed to come along...it starts at 9:30PM so it was always past their bedtime...this year they stayed up and got to come along!
Soooo much fun it was! There are no winners; just bragging rights! HA>
We love to float on tubes in the lake when it is really hot! Anyone who has ever floated on a lake knows you can;t close your eyes for long because the waves push you away from shore or down to the neighbors and you have to paddle back to your house. I got sick of having to paddle around and not be able to close my eyes and relax so the kids and I came up with a great idea! We got a concrete slab and tied a rope to it then dropped it in the lake about 50 feet from shore. We then tied a buoy to rope at the top of the water and now we can float with our eyes closed and just hold the buoy...we never move! It is perfect...
It was a fantastic boat parade and fourth of July weekend all together.
Have a fantastic day!
