I think we're out of gas.....

Every year, Sun Up Bay holds a fireworks show on the 3rd of July. We thought we'd check it out. It was mildly entertaining, but that was to be expected. It was a good warm up for the "big one" the next night. As we were leaving and feeling quite exhausted and children who were on the verge of tears, the boat shut off and Loren says, "I think we're out of gas." In complete disbelief I asked if he was joking. Nope. We both grabbed a paddle and went to work getting back to Sun Up bay, praying there would be someone there, anyone, who could give us gas. Fortunately, the volunteer Coast gaurd came along and towed us to the bay, found the guy who could give us gas and we were on our way. Whew!! The teary eyed children were very worried we were going to be living in the boat for the rest of their lives. :)
Now... here are our pictures from the actual 4th of July and we did NOT run out of gas!! We had the pleasure of having our cousin Kristina with us along with Mindy and her family.
