So I have found some time to blog about our fantastic Fourth of July! Me and Chris spent the day doing things that we both wanted to do. We slept in till about 10, then we played Rockband. Usually when we play we take turns picking out which songs we want, but this time we just let the game select songs at random. It worked pretty good, but some songs we just can’t figure out why they even made it on to the game. For instance, “Electric Version” by The New Pornographers. Has anyone even heard of this group?? And Why would anyone call there band the pornographers in the first place???
After Rockband we went out to lunch at Southern Café. It is kind of a little hole on the wall the Chris had eaten at with some of his friends. I had never eaten there, but Chris said that the food was really good. I would have to agree. Everything was homemade. YUM…I hope we go and eat there again! After lunch we went home and played “Pimp My Ride.” It is way ghetto. The graphics are bad, but we both love it. It was pretty fun, we both played a level. Then I decided to make a pie. (I just realized how random this blog is sounding…but that is kind of how the day went, plus I really don’t want to go back and re-word everything) This was my first time to attempt a pie. I have always heard that the crust is the hardest part. Normally, I would ask my mom for her recipe, but she is in Colorado for the week, so I decided to go online and see if I could find one. I found this one and I really like it: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Basic-Flaky-Pie-Crust/Detail.aspx . I only made a cherry pie, because the filling is already prepared for you, but in the end I think it turned out really great. The only problems I had were rolling out the dough, but it only took one bad try for me to figure it out, and the crust didn’t get done all the way. However, it tastes amazing, which is really all that matters anyway!!

Later on that evening, we went and cooked out with some friends.
The Grills...
I love rootbeer!
We had so much food and this is only the main course. I didn't take a pic of the desserts, but justs imagine the food in the pic replaced with cake, fruit tarts, and pie!
This is the group we hung out with. I purposely meant for them to be caught unaware!
Chris
Patrick & Amber
Meredith
Bryan, Rachel & Anthony
Stephanie & Brett, Missie & Joseph
After dinner, we went to the George Bush Library to watch the fireworks. While we were sitting out in the grass waiting for the fireworks to start the sprinklers suddenly came on! Luckly we made a quick run for it, and didn't get wet. A lot of the kids we way excited to be able to play in the sprinklers!
Earlier that week, I found a great deal on some glowsticks, so I bought enough for the whole group.
I love Fourth of July! I love America!...even if I don't agree with our president right now....

Fun times! I remember going to the George Bush Library for fireworks. Memories....
Not a good picture of me! I am so impressed that you got them up so quickly though!
I impressed myself even!! actually i was bored at work, so had about 4 hours to kill and figured that it would be a good time to blog. The title was originally Happy Day After the 4th....:)
It looks like you had a fun filled day! And the pie looks yummy!!!
Sounds like you had a grand 4th. I love the randomness! I'm also really like the new picture of you and Chris.
