Happy Birthday America!

We (the Henson Five) spent 4th of July with dear family friends --- the Rectors.  Allatoona Lake, near Atlanta had never seen the likes of the Henson/ Rector party.  It was a blessed time of relaxation, wild tubing and encouraging words. Thanks Barb and Richard!


Here is a small taste of the action. Unfortunately, we didn't get the best rides (or wipeouts) on camera! But, Joyce's laughter throughout the video is worth it. At 1:07 in the video, the screaming begins!


The infamous Richard Rector rides the dangerous waves!

Yes, that is Richard's arm flying into Lake Allatoona!

Sarah returned home from a month in Haiti on Wednesday and we had her on the lake by Saturday!

Dinner at Pappasitos with the Rectors, Hueys and Hensons.
Party of 10 = trouble! The Tex-Mex was amazing!!!!


Happy Birthday America! We celebrated fully!

*Note: We watched the fireworks from the boat; not a cloud in the sky. 45 minutes of "ooo's and ahhh's." A comment to all of the Georgia boaters out there: Y'all are nuts to try and park your boats so close together on a lake, and you're even more nuts to try and leave the fireworks like a large southern armada! We could have died!
