Fireworks

Yesterday was so much fun! Got to eat good food, lounge around, and walk to see some of the best fireworks in the area!

First we shall start with what my dad prepared for dinner
  • Smoked ribs
  • Wild Turkey Shiner Bock barbecue sauce
  • Sweet and red potato salad
  • Hand squeezed lemonade
  • Home made vanilla ice cream (I actually made this)
  • Green Beans
  • Shiner Bock beer bread
It was soooo good! Fortunately we have leftovers so I can have some for lunch today :)

After we let our food settle, it was time to start our mile and a half hike to see fireworks. Where we go, there is live music before the show and the fireworks are set off above a pond. the reflection looks really cool. Usually we sit right at the pond, but this year we were a little farther back....guess we didn't get there soon enough.

I am working on saving a video of the fireworks (I had to go in and do a little editing in movie maker). Its nothing too fancy, I shot it with my little point and shoot Nikon, maybe next year I will have a camera that does HD video. But yeah, the video is 22 minutes long, and when it is done saving I will post it.

After fireworks, we had our ice cream, and played some uno. I think our last game went on for like 45 minutes, that is the longest game I can remember playing, we didn't get done until like 12:30ish. But it was fun.

Well that is all I can think of for right now, I will post that video when its done.

So, it has been a while since I have posted anything…I think probably a year…so I thought I should start up again.

Let’s see…

I guess I will just talk about this summer cause that’s all I can really remember.

· Started Summer I in June….I am taking developmental psych…almost done, just four more days

· Jacob and I went to South Padre for our 2 years J I will probably start a page dedicated to our adventures

· Oh we also went to Carlsbad Caverns in….May? I think

· I went to Joplin a week after the tornado….I will probably have a page just for that

That’s all I can really think of right now…so now we shall focus on today.

Today is the 4th of JULY! I love fireworksJ. Going to an awesome firework show tonight, I may try to take some pictures, but I get distracted either trying to take pictures and missing the show, or watching the show and not taking pictures, so we’ll see. For dinner we are having smoked ribs with homemade wild turkey shiner bock barbecue sauce, sweet and red potato salad, hand squeezed lemonade, and homemade vanilla ice cream.

I also got to see my best friends for breakfast today. This was the first time we have been together since January. It was good to see everyone again; I miss hanging out with them.

I can’t think of anything else at the moment so I think I will leave it where I am.

Laters.
