This is What Summer SHOULD be About

This weekend epitamized what I believe summer should be about. It was the fourth of July this weekend, and it was a fabulous weekend. It all started on Thursday when I got off of work at 11:30 (because I spent from 9 til then playing on facebook, seriously there was nothing to do :-D). Then I went to the Fishermen's last show until Cameron come back or they find a new bass player. I only got to talk to Linds for a second, to tell him hi, 'cause I drove to Lago Vista right afterwards. I spent the actual Fourth with my friends Allison and Dan and her family. We went to the Lago Vista Fourth parade and then went out on her uncle's boat all day. And even though I religiously put on sunscreen, I managed to get burned. How that happened, I have no idea, but it's fading into a pretty nice tan, so yeah. Then we had burgers and watched the fireworks. We tried to have our own little firework show, but the cops came. Who knew there was a burn ban? Or that fireworks were illegal in the city limits? Not me! but they were really nice about it :-).
Saturday I woke up, hung out for a bit and then went to meet my familia at the Rio for lunch. I love my family. They're so fun and there are so many of us. I walked in and told Kim I needed a table for 17 and she almost fainted :-). That was really fun, getting to see everybody and just chillax. I had to work Saturday night, which was really slow, but my cousins Tracy and James met me at the Rio when I got off, and we went to the Dog and Duck Pub for a couple of drinks and some much needed chatting. It was awesome, and I can't wait to get together with everybody in a couple of weeks for my cousin Caroline's reception in Colorado!
Sunday was probably the most random day of all. James had spent the night at my apartment, so he got up to meet people at Whole Foods for lunch, and I went to Mass, then James swung by and picked me up and we went to Tracy's apartment to get her and our cousin Daniel met us there, and we went to Galveston! James wanted to go fishing with Grandpa on Monday morning, so we drove down there and got there right in time for crabs, which excited me cause I haven't had them in FOREVER. So we had crabs, watched the sunset on the bay, ate chicken gumbo, and hung out. James and Grandpa went fishing at the crack of dawn on Monday, then we left the beachouse around 8 to come back here. Needless to say, it was a fabulously fun weekend, with the perfect mixture of fun and work. Now it's back to the grindstone for two weeks! BTW 7 members of the Red Sox club made it to the All Star game. How about THEM apples?
