4th of July

We had a pretty laid back 4th. I didn't mind too much that it rained most of the day because it was a good excuse to sit around, play with Mason and watch Michael Jackson's "Moonwalker" (straight outta the 80's-on VHS of course) not to mention I was able to finish a new painting. Please go check it out at Fiddlesticks.






Wayne grilled hamburgers & hot dogs for dinner (I like mine really well done! Yum!) Then we packed some drinks, sprayed ourselves head-to-toe with bug spray & headed to Memorial Park early enough to get a good spot for fireworks.

Ready to go...



We had talked it up with Mason all day and he was excited to see them (since I guess he didn't remember them from last year.) Besides having some really annoying people park RIGHT beside us in an almost empty lot and set up their chairs almost touching ours....well, they pretty much sucked. The whole show lasted about 15 minutes and Mason wasn't interested. He wanted to run around and scream, although he'd had a TWO and A HALF HOUR nap early in the day! Oh well, I bet he likes them more next year. And we still had fun.

I thought about calling you guy's to come by...the girls ran wild in the front yard and we watched our neighborhood fireworks display again this year! We really should get together soon.
