Independance Day
I had a very wonderful 4th of July weekend, which included both going to South Haven for the fireworks and having people over to my parents house on the actual day of the 4th for the not exactly legal fireworks and a violent game of spoons.
South Haven was great and we ended up sitting next to a group of people from the River. Its so random that out of the 10,000 or so people who were there, we decided to sit in a spot that was right next to judy, dale, ryan, andrea, scott, brian, and paul. My roomate Lisa was also there. The traffic was a little touchy at times, and I was very thankful to see that my car was still where I had left it and not towed to some random place.
On the 4th I had people over to my parents house. I did this last year and let myself get all stressed out that something would go wrong or that people wouldn't have fun. This year I allowed myself to relax and I just made hot dogs and had a few snacks. People brought things to eat and we enjoyed a good night of grilling and playing cards. Anna, Todd, Melinda, Jeremy, Mary, Stacie, and I were all there. My parents even got home from an 11 day trip in the Upper Peninsula during the middle of the evening. The shows out on the lake were a little less dramatic than last year because of the holiday falling on Monday night (Sunday night we had great fireworks too) and the night was kinda rainy. I felt a little bad because people had to go into my parents house for a while and we played spoons. The problem came in that they are currently remodeling the house and there was dust all over and the kitchen also had the couch in it. we were able to sit on the couch while we played, so that was nice I suppose, but I wanted things to look great. It will look really nice when its done, and may be painted already. My brother's birthday is on Sunday and depending upon the timing with youth group I think I'll go out there, so then I'll see whats happening.
