Every year during the week of the 4th, Matt takes his Boy Scout troop up to the mountains for summer camp. This year his training for his new job didn't allow him to miss any days, so we drove them up on Saturday (07/03) in a 15 passenger van and got a ride back to Columbia with the Waddells that Monday. On the 4th, the Boy Scouts always participate in Rocky Bottom's parade (I use the word "parade" very loosely), then venture down to the great town of Pickens, SC to eat some corn dogs and ice cream as they mingle with the locals and watch the fireworks display. Chances are you'll see more mullets that night than the rest of the year combined, provided you don't live in Pickens or a similar town. Good times. :)

The following Friday when Matt got off work, we drove back up in my car so that Matt could bring everyone home again in the van on Saturday. It made for a pretty busy week, but I love going to the mountains. It's so beautiful up there. :) It was Béla's first time to the mountains and she seemed to really enjoy it as well. I wish we were able to go up there more often!
