We had a wonderful holiday. What was even more better about the whole thing was I had 5 days off! I enjoyed every one of them !! You always want more though so that is the only thing that stinks.
We all gathered at my parents house this year. It was nice because normally every year we have o split the visits. half the day and my parents and half at Steven's. Someone always ends up getting shorted on time and I am tired of that. It is draining. So, everyone came to one house and we all spent it together. I mean why not? They all know one another. It was me, Steven, Andrew, My mom, dad and brother, Steven's mom and Dad, my grandma and grandpa, Uncle Kenny, uncle Vince, Trish, Uncle Bob Aunt Wendy , cousin Robbi, and my brothers friend stopped by too.
We had tons of food. Burgers and Hot dogs, a broccoli dish, baked beans, corn on the cob , potaoe salad, fruit.... and I am leaving something out but oh well. It was nice in Elk Grove because we had a wonderful breeze. what was funny though when we were doing Fireworks, it was so chilly, we were all wearing sweates and throw blankets -lol- In July !! Fireworks lasted for a while. We all sat and relaxed, some going back to get some more food, others enjoying desert.
Andrew loved the Fireworks. He was fine as long as he was as far away as possible enjoying them. My brother and cousin were the ones lighting them. so, every single time Andrew wanted them to pick him up off my aunts lap, take him over to the table, let him pick the next fire work and then set him back on her lap.
The did some cool stuff too... they taped and hammered some Picalo Pete's and put it under a bucket and lit it. It was so funny. The bucket flew in the air and it was LOUD!
The fourth of july ended my 5 day mini vacation... I cannot wait for another!
