Independence Day 2008

We had our 2nd annual BBQ with our friends, The Mewes family. They brought fruit salad (yum!) and a slip -n- slide, but Sam wouldn't go down. Clay had a ball and I had fun taking pictures and watching. Jason made a fabulous dinner, as always.




We decided to head to a nearby park this year to view fireworks. It was nice because we could see about 5 different sets and did not have to deal with the usual mob of people. I did end up being mobbed though - by ants! I was sitting on the ground and noticed a few ants on my finger, then my shirt, then Rene' said, "You don't have any on - Oh my God...". I looked down and there were thousands of ants, like a moving carpet. Somehow our party had disturbed the colony and the ants all had to check it out. I still felt them crawling on me in bed, even after 10 ant checks... ewwww!

On the bright side, it's not something I'll forget soon!
