4th of july

it was a nice, hot day.

the day started kinda late. for me. haha. i drank the night before for the first time in almost 4 weeks. worth it, eh. not lovin' the stomach queeziness. maybe one day, i'll quit for good. =) i got up to eat breakfast. at noon. hehe. apparently, after over an hour, chris' attempt to make breakfast, accomplished. eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and toast. requires more than one egg for the 4 of us: cherie, chris, maddi and i. hahaha. it was a good breakfast. it helped with the queeziness a lil bit. =)

after breakfast, we hung out at the pool. played with the waterproof video cam. well, maddi and i made the most of it. =)

chris left to go to the shooting range with some friends and us girls stayed out at the pool for a lil bit longer. then we went inside, watched a movie and got ready.

i musta been getting ready at this point. we know who was playing with the cam. haha.

chris' heel click on our venture to the park

we headed to chris' sister's boyfriend's cousin's mom's daughter's friend's. haha. jk. just chris' sister, janae's boyfriend, jeff's place in sugarhouse. from there, we all (there were about 6 kids and 5 adults. even more of a brady bunch! lol. included janae's kiddies and jeff's kiddies minus chris' kiddies and cherie's daughter) walked to sugarhouse park to hang out and watch the fireworks. there was hella peeps. crowds, fun! ha! they had bands playing. a bunch of vendors selling food and different thangs. cherie bought glow sticks and flashing necklaces. we ate mini donuts with powdered sugar and funnel cake with any or all of the following: honey butter, raspberry honey butter, raspberry fruits and powdered sugar. delish!

it got even busier than this

funnel cake with raspberry honey butter, raspberry fruit and powdered sugar. yum!

the fireworks were coo. the show only lasted about 20 minutes. ain't no seattle awesomeness. =P haha. butterflies, not bowties, cherie! sheesh. wish i got a pic of them. darn!

it was crazy getting outta there. i got hit in the achilles by a stroller and got a rock kicked at me in the same exact spot (thanks, maddi! hehe.). nice night for a walk. well cuz it helped us miss the traffic getting to the freeway. =) and thank goodness for smart phones!

got back to cherie and chris' at almost midnight. we were exhausted. good day! happy independence day, america!
