Fun Fourth

I hope you all had a Very Happy 4th of July! We had a good time doing the usual stuff. We started the day going to a parade in Lake Country. This is a fairly large
subdivision located on Eagle Mountain Lake and their HOA hosts a parade every year. We had never gone before, but Ally was in it for her real estate agency so she wanted to go. She chose a location near the beginning so that we make an easy escape at the end. As it turns out, if you want a lot of candy, the beginning of the parade route in definitely the place to be. While RC held Addy, me, Ash, Brian, and Kevin were picking up the candy...we were exhausted and sweaty by the time the parade got past us! We had more candy than on Halloween! Hmmm, that will secretly have to find itself in the trash can so Ash doesn't drive us crazy wanting some. Here are a few photos from the parade:




Then we were able to chill out a little at home before heading to Dad's for his annual party. If he would have had his way, we would have been there by noon, but we decided 3:00 was early enough being that we would be there until 11:00 when the fireworks are over. Anyway, the party was good, there wasn't too many people there this year which means there was a ton of potato salad left. It doesn't make me happy to make 10 pounds of potato salad just to have 5 pounds left! Oh well. The best part of the party was when Brian tried to get Kevin in the pool after Kevin had sprayed Brian with the hose. They both ended up in the pool, including Brian's brand new Blackberry. Geesh, it's always something! Yes, it's ruined! Here's a photo of them recovering. Brian had him, but Brian's shoes slipped out from under him and he landed right on his butt and Kevin pulled him in...despite Brian's best effort, it was all over:



Here's one of Pop-Pop and his granddaughters:



These are from the fireworks, people must have complained about the sucky fireworks last year, because they were much better this year. Here is the York Family:




Here are the Little Princesses:



Addy seemed to really enjoy the fireworks with her Daddy. The noise didn't seem to bother her too much, we were a couple miles away from them.



Brittany holding Addy with her friend, Justin:



And my favorite picture of all...



I have no idea what that face is about! Is she crying? Is she trying to be silly? Is she going #2? I really don't know!! RC, any ideas? Too funny! I'm sure she'll love me for putting it on here!

Brian went to Bike Night tonight...every 1st Saturday of the month. He went with his sister, Katie. While he was gone, me, The Harris', and the York's went to Joe's on Denton Hwy and then played Poker at my house. When the Harris' weren't bickering, the York's were, and vice versa! Geesh, I can't imagine why we don't play very often anymore. Kevin kept burping stinky burps, Ally and Steve were fighting over peanut M&Ms, then Ally was holding the ding dongs hostage, RC was acting like she was on speed and couldn't sit still, and everyone was irritated at me for taking too long making decisions. Yup, good times! ha!

Hmmm...what's on the schedule for tomorrow? I'm not sure yet, definitely some laundry and I would like to wash my car inside and out. I really should get some work done too, but we'll see.

Enjoy the last day of your weekend! Sleep Tight!
