July the fourth

As you well know, yesterday was the fourth of July. It was a good day. Mike had to work until 4:30, so we didn’t do much until later in the day. But once he got off work, we met up with David and Kaitlyn and we grilled up some burgers and had a nice dinner, played a couple of games of Munchkin, and then joined the rest of Provo in American festivities. The first thing we did was walk around the vendors/carnival. Mike won a water gun by doing a strongman competition.

And boy, was he ever strong.

We wanted a Brazilian lemonade from the Tucanos stand, but they were all out. So we were sad.

And then Mike and I tried out the stocks.

On our way back to David and Kaitlyn’s place, we stopped by 7-11 to get some slurpees. I got the new GI Joe inspired flavor, which turned my mouth a lovely shade of blue (although I don’t know why the slurpee was blue because it was strawberry pineapple lime flavor).

After we finished our slurpees we went to find a spot to watch the fireworks. We ended up getting a GREAT spot (which relatively no one went to because last year there were buildings where we were sitting). Every other spot around campus was jammed pack with people sitting shoulder to shoulder, but we had enough space to spread out blankets and play card games (until it got too dark).

Then, we watched the fireworks. I’m really still impressed with how great of spots we got.

It was a really good day, overall. We had a lot of fun.
