Happy Fourth of July!!!

(OK, so I know I'm a day late and a dollar short on this, but just go with it!)

Yesterday, I had a glorious day celebrating my country's independence. The roommates and I after vacillating between plans all week decided to have a nice little afternoon with a few friends full of grilling, margaritas, and fourth of july activites.



We starting things off by heading to our town parade. It was so fun seeing all the firetrucks, bagpipe players, horse riders, etc. And we also had tons of fun scrambling for candy with the other (real) kids. I maybe even scraped my knee during one intense stretch for a tootsie roll:0)

the parade was followed buy a feast with friends including steak tips, potato salad, and a flag cake! Here are some pictures of my cutie pie roommates with our treats. . .yum!

The evening was finished off with friends and fireworks, my favorite! They were actually really great this year, and such fun to watch. My favorites are the roman candles and the gold ones that look like weeping willows as they fall.

Oh yea, and if you're wondering. I'm telling The Writer this Wednesday that I am going to be leaving her employ. Wish me luck (and safety!)
