4th of July Weekend

So how was everyone's 4th? Good? Awesome! What's that? How was mine? Oh, well since you asked, I will tell you all about it! I know there are a LOT of pictures, but just remember, you ASKED me to show them to you. Don't blame me. It's what YOU ALL WANTED.

So, this past weekend was the 4th of July, which for my non-American readers, is sorta a big deal in the good old USA. So we decided to go ahead and have a party out at my father in laws house. It was so great! That was Sunday night, then Monday we went downtown to the parade. Good times were had by all. And I documented every good time with my camera.

So I decided before the party started that nobody would really want to get in the pool, so I got ready as if this WASN'T a pool party. Spoiler alert, I was wrong. But here is the lone picture of me before I joined the masses in the water.

We had such a great time! (except is was a million degrees during the parade and there were WAY too many political things and just random cars in the middle. I DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR CORVETTE, PLEASE GIVE ME CANDY)
4th of July
But all in all, it was an absolutely perfect holiday weekend!

(are you still reading? You get a gold star!!)

Somehow, even though there are a million pictures, I somehow have missed some people. Sorry if you aren't pictured! You are still important! I swear.

  1. A) The party at the Cprek household looks enjoyable. I'm sad we didn't make it.

    B) I forgot about Steven! But when I saw Steven I immediately remembered that one guy Nick was friends wtih that I went on a date with and forced you two to go along WITH ME but then I decided I could never go on a date with again after he informed me he thought Ghostbusters was made in the NINETIES. I can't remember his name but that whole train of thought gave me a chuckle. COLLEGE WHITNEY HAD HIGH DATING STANDARDS.

    C) The parade! Everyone kept acting all judgey with me for not taking Evie and I was all, "Oh but wait, parades around here are LAAAAME. And half the time there's like 3 floats! And it's a MILLION DEGREES OUTSIDE!!!" But still... I could feel their judgment. I am now glad you confirmed my suspicions. I am not glad you were not warned of such inconveniences.
