4th of july weekend

i had a pretty good weekend, three days off from work is usually good. dyl spent friday at mom's where he and bill apparently played video games for a good portion of the night. i stayed home, watched fanboys, made a strawberry rhubarb pie for the saturday meal and finished harry potter and the order of the phoenix. and the weather was nicer than i thought, though not extremely hot, and the pool temp was about 72, saturday and sunday were both nice days to go swimming and i of course got a little color...red to be exact since i don't tan well. and we finished the weekend by hitting the fireworks. last year we sat right next to eldridge lake, and i planned to do that again this year, only the parking was insane. so i ended up driving around and parking in the back parking lot of a buiolding across from king kone with about 50 other people. but in reality we had an amazing spot, the fire works were being shot off just over the railroad tracks from where we were and the view was spectacular. and we didn't even leave the car, they were right there. so overall it was a pretty good weekend.
