4th of July in the Rearview Mirror

We had a little shindig at my house yesterday for dogs and eats. Reina hooked me up with some seriously good home made salsa. We played Apples to Apples. I found out that James likes to win and he’s fairly expressive. Fun.

Then, we got out the Wii and boxed, played Tennis, and bowled. My shoulder still hurts from tennis. My brother’s back still hurts from a backhand that got a little out of control…sorry Phil. Glad to say my 4 year old knocked her 33 year old uncle. :)

Then, we headed over to the Homestead Sports Complex. Bill Finch and his life group came pulling up in what appeared to be a Redneck’s Paradise on Wheels (lawn chairs in the back of a pick-up truck, pizzas, cokes). We all found each other by looking for the flags that rock the outside of our theater…definitely came in handy. The fireworks were great. The crew from Life Pointe Church? Trouble as always…couldn’t have it any other way.

This year in the stadium, there was no band/no concert. The Saturn Project should have rocked it. Maybe next year.

  1. What did they do before the fireworks started? They always have a concert, although it isn’t always the greatest.

  2. Where I come from the back of a pickup truck ain’t nothing but a party looking for a place to happen. Also what you don’t know is the folding chairs in back are considered “the good furniture”, I just got around to pulling off the plastic.

    Dang, it occured to me I just wrote a Country song… wonder if I can get Jesse to help me with it.

  4. Yeah, there was NOTHING going on before the fireworks. There was a small tent on the field with some people talking who we could not hear at all.
