To me, there is nothing more American than enjoying the heck out of your family and friends. So far this weekend, we've been pretty darn successful at both.
After a nice long bath for K to scrub off all the lovely body art she created (on herself) yesterday morning, we finished some chores and headed up to Busch Gardens for rollercoasters and fireworks. There is absolutely nothing better in the world than "Fun Fridays," days when K and I pick something, well fun, and set out on our adventure. We don't get the chance to do it every week, but that just makes the ones we do get more special.
After sleeping in this morning, we puttered around a bit and then headed to the Haws for their Annual 4th of July picnic. It was much easier when Chris and Jenn lived next door, but the addition of a pool made the drive to the new house worthwhile.
Four hours and several wrinkles appendages later, we headed home for quick showers. Then is was time to deck out in our 4th of July gear and head to Scott and Melissa's to watch the fireworks over the lake. Apparently a little neighborly competition makes for one hell of a show.
After the fireworks, we headed down the street to Billy and Holly's picnic where there were sparklers galore and K was in absolute heaven. We had a quick stop at the neighbors scheduled in for the drive home, but K (and her mother) were just plum tuckered out. But with K tucked up in bed and me sitting in the backyard, I can hear the music and catch whisps of conversation from the neighbors we were supposed to visit, so I guess I'm still enjoying the heck out of my family and friends.
