Fun Fourth Friday w/ Friends

Had a good time yesterday hanging with some friends enjoying the 4th of July festivities, started with a cookout at the Akers with some killer grilled chicken and all kinds of other goodies, think I put on a few pounds. Went home to relax for a few and watch Chase and Tyson play playstation. Headed out to New Castle to watch the fireworks from the big hill with the Akers, Blys, Brincefields, and Prices. Played a little euchre first partnering with Stephen's brother Ben and winning both games then Jeff took Ben's spot and the winning continued. Good fireworks display as usual over there, the only bad part is that WMDH is the sponsor so the blast the country music. Got back to the car to leave at 10:44 and was out on the highway about a half hour later and on the road to home. Our neighbors were going to go there as well and we talked to them when we got home and found out they were in the same area we were but just didn't know it.

Got another cookout this afternoon at 5 and another one at 6 but I think we will just stop in and say hey at that one. The vacation is quickly coming to an end and I am not ready to go back and see what is waiting for me at work with e-mails, messages and just papers thrown on the desk that I get to figure out what they are for.
