All today spent July 4th at Mt. Cheaha state park close to Oxford, Alabama. My family rented one of those stone pavilions for the day, and we had our own private place to gather. It was really nice, we had our own restrooms as well as area to park, lounge, etc. The other pavilions were situated next to us, needless to say were not so lucky they had to walk or drive over to our pavilion to use our facilities.
Today was in the 90s, but it wasn’t so bad. The wind blew through the pavilion so it made things cool. We bought barbque from Dad’s Barbque a local restaurant well known for the best barbque in Anniston. They have something for everyone including ribs, barbque sandwiches, pork, beef, chicken, etc.. They even have wonderful pies too. Later on in the day everyone went out to view the sights, including the tower and ledges, etc.
Tonight after eating more barbque, we all went back to the hotel and gathered around to chit chat. Afterwards went to get to our car and there was a kitten that found his way up in the engine. So we had to find a way to get him out. Successfully got him/her out, but he/she ran away before we could catch him. 
Then we saw some professional fireworks being presented..beautiful show ! Went home, now I’m tired.
