We left Friday afternoon to drive to Heber Springs to my moms. When we got there we ate and then I took Jonathan sight seeing!! I showed him everything! He was probably thinking "when is this going to be over?" But I saved the best for last a took him to this awesome overlook that is a "hidden" gem! It over looks the Dam, J. F. Kennedy overlook and the Little Red river. He loved it! Saturday we ran my moms yard sale for her and then it was off to sandy beach for the fireworks!! AWESOME! Here's a few pictures :)
We were sitting in the perfect spot down on the beach to watch the fireworks!! And some rather "crazy" people!!
People were slowly getting their boats into any spots that were free! Until this "White House on water" as some of the colorful people called it moved in!!
It was slowly starting to get crowed.....
Then there was the pretty awesome rainbow that was almost over us!!

Well there was a storm moving in so they started the fireworks just a few minutes early but that did not help! As soon as the first one went off the down pour of rain started and everyone went running! But we did not move because we were a little smarter and brought umbrellas! So there Jonathan and I were with my family in the rain watching the fireworks! Jonathan and I stood up because the rain was collecting in the seats and we stood there in the RAIN holding each other watching the fireworks!! Oh my lord was it SOO ROMANTIC!! I loved every soaking wet minute of it!! It made it just that much more special and memorable to me! Plus this is the first time Jonathan has ever been to a event like this for the 4th of July! So it was pretty cool that his first experience like this we were together for! He said it was really cool and we definitely have to make this our tradition!! Which my mom and aunt are definitely cool with! They loved it too! I am just so happy he loved it that much because it has been mine and my moms tradition for years to do our 4th of July like this! So bringing Jonathan into this just makes it soo much better for all of us! Hope everyone had an awesome 4th of July like I did!!
