Every year is different. I remember going down to Idaho Falls, my freshman year at BYU-Idaho, to watch fireworks. I remember getting stuck in the lame post firework traffic getting back on the I-15 AND being late for curfew and signing the stupid book. Ew. Dorms suck.
I then remember one summer when my dear best friend Livi Osborne came back to school after her Study Abroad in Florence Italy and I opted to go to Idaho Falls with Jane and the gang to greet Livi at our apartment Brookside 310.
Last summer 2007, Jane Metcalf and I went down to the Kirkland waterfront with our adopted singles ward, Sammamish Valley. It was a blast! Before, we tried going to Chipotle (best Mexican food on the planet) but it was closed...go figure...so we went to Whole Foods and got a wonderful sandwich.
We brought blankets and of course our camera! We had just watched the new Transformers...and so we took some great action shots of our interpretation!
It was such a great day! Our fun summer sales friends kept the jokes going and then talked us into driving them home after fireworks....
This year....I have a wonderful Fiance. The 4th is definitely one of my favorite holidays so I was SO pumped to cuddle up with Ryan, watch some fireworks and hang out down at the lake. But, my man had to work. On a positive note, he got paid for time and a half. YAY! I had to be creative flying solo. I went to the pool to lay out. Definitely needed. Came back, made some awesome nachos, and I noticed it started raining a bit. Oh, the rain didn't stop for 4 hours. So, I baked cookies, watched bits and pieces of America's Next Top Model marathon, What Not To Wear, Chicken Run, Spiderman 2, and FINALLY...the rain stopped. So Sophie and I went out to the dock, met up with some neighbors, and watched the fireworks. Talk about neat experience. The neighbors had brought some pretty wild fireworks and my poor baby Sophie was shaking...the whole time. Gotta love her! Anyways, Ryan and I have a fun day planned for the 5th so maybe that will be our new holiday :-)
