So, even though I worked a lot, my 4th of July weekend was actually fairly nice. The day started out a little late, but I drove out to Uncle Ed's in Hiram. I got to see all my Aunts, Uncles and cousins... Gillian was really excited and stayed with me the whole time. We went kayaking, paddleboating, and swimming in the pond. It was good to see them, because I missed Thanksgiving and Easter because of work. Aunt Denise told me that Gillian asked her, "Doesn't Amanda like us anymore?" So I knew I had to go, even if it was only for a few hours.
Downside to all this: Sunburn. Lingering sunburn... It's Monday, and I still hurt.
Then, I got a call from Britt, telling me that Nikki was almost to Kent (I didn't know she was even coming) and that she needed the parking pass. That was in my car. In Hiram. So I drove home like a bat out of heck. Britt, A.J., Nikki and myself then had an awesome cookout... All the food was absolutely delicious. Plus, it was the twins' birthday... Moose and Beast got treats and toys and were just generally excited about everything (they're dogs, in case you didn't remember) Then, that night, we went to go see fireworks, and came back to make s'mores and light sparklers.
Downside to all this: I think I ate enough food for twelve people
Then, Sunday night was staff night. We (Jackie and her husband, Katie, Sarah, Tim, Dave and myself) all piled into Jackie's SUV. Katie, Sarah and I got to be trunky monkeys... Then we all piled out, backed the SUV into the spot, and set up lawn chairs. All of us took a football into the nearby field and played catch while waiting for the movie to start, and I caught some lightning bugs too and showed them to Katie. (I named them Horatio, Elizabeth, Ezekiel, and Sergio) We saw Ice Age 3 and Night at the Museum 2, which were both actually very good.
Downside to all this: James couldn't come, so we weren't a whole staff.
All in all, I had a pretty amazing weekend! I hope you did too!
