Fourth of July Recap

For Fourth of July we were at our friend John and Robyn’s house, which is just around the corner from our house. Earlier in the day I organized a flag football game, which was fun but was slightly a let-down since we only had enough players for 4-on-4. I also got pegged in the eye that didn’t feel too good (it’s a long story but it probably would’ve killed a weaker man).

John and Robyn had about 40 people over for a big BBQ and the pool was absolutely packed with kids. They had tons of good food and the kid’s loved getting their faces painted. We also watched a replay of the Nathan’s hot-dog-eating contest (on a side note – what drives these people to stuff their faces with nasty hotdogs for 12 minutes?), which almost took away my appetite for the whole night.

The fireworks display we put on probably rivaled those put on by several small municipalities – we were shooting off 4-5 mortars per “set.” It was a really fun night.
