The Fourth!!




I worked on July 4th, but only until 3pm, so after work I headed over to Missy's house to hang out. Kaitlynn came with me and Mandi and Breezy were there too. We swam and barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs in the backyard. We also played "Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?", and as it turns out, none of us are! I even had Kaitlynn on my team who had just finished fifth grade. After all the mind bending we had to do with that game, we decided to take it easy and play "Guitar Hero" on the PS2. Of course, we also had to make time to watch Tristan play "Transformers" in his Superman underwear. :) When it finally started getting dark we ventured outside for fireworks. The kids enjoyed the sparklers and watching Trampus set off the bigger ones in the street. They did some sidewalk chalk art as well. At some point Missy had whipped up a batch of brownies so before we called it a night we all snacked on a warm fudge brownie. Yummy but rich... you just can't eat more than one! Kaitlynn and I got home around midnight and boy were we exhausted. I hope everyone else had a happy 4th of July!!

Tristen is so much like my nephew!!! It's all about the video games. When I'm there, the first thing he says to me while he eats his cereal is, "wanna watch me play?"
