go FOURTH!

happy 4th of july!

hahaha, so in regards to this "july challenge" to post everyday, i'll be limiting it to weekdays. weekends are optional. saturday was sooooo extremely exhausting. i'll elaborate on that later! and sunday was just sunday.... a very long day!

hope that everyone had a happy 4th! we went to the lake. well, on the drive to the lake i picked up some contraband explosives once i was safely out of the city limits of dallas. my first contraband explosives purchase were sparklers! so innocent, right?

the lake was fun. laughing with the church fam was quite enjoyable. the dog will sleep well tonight after swimming so much.

i like driving through the country! well, only if the country area has lots of trees. i heart trees. what's also fun is seeing the firework displays while cruising on the highway. fireworks are like big poofs of glitter thrown into the sky. that's absolutely lovely to me.

i tried one sparkler out in the backyard once i got home. it was neat but..... it mildly freaked me out.

did You know that sparklers spark? lots of little sparks come out! who woulda thunk?!?!

suffice it to say that while it was pretty and all, i didn't want to get in trouble for setting the backyard furniture on fire. so i hosed it down. yeah.
