I take back what I said at the beginning of my last post. I don't post very often because I don't have anything exciting. Even this post won't be danged exciting but it should suffice for my purposes. Anyway, our fourth of July activities turned out to be on the second because they remembered a couple of weeks back, the town that is, that some group had reserved the park where the fireworks are set off for the day of the fourth. Pretty on top of things this town eh? The Bar-Be-Que, that's how our church advertised it, was moved to Sunday evening at 6:00. The fireworks didn't start 'until nine and it was 112 degrees outside when we were supposed to be grilling. The crazy lady who thinks that she's in charge of everything and if she's not then everything's going to fall apart, said that we were going to sit in the parking lot. The sun reflecting off the blacktop, the sun beating down on us and all. We did move to a small playground so that we'd be out of the sun but that was too close for me. The fireworks were nice, I guess. We listened to the radio presentation of the fireworks. At 9:20 when they said was going to be the finale a whole bunch of fireworks went up. However, after that round was over, the small fireworks just kept on going. Then, a few minutes later, the announcers said, "This is the finale!" but that wasn't the finale either. So after many rumored finales and I guess one real finale, the fireworks were over. Conclusion: The Disneyland fireworks spoiled me.
For the real fourth of July, we went to see Over the Hedge and we didn't watch any fireworks. Over the Hedge was good. From the previews, it looked like it was going to have it's good parts but rely heavily on distasteful humor. I was pleasantly surprised. It was good and had alot of very funny parts. William Shatner plays in it and so does Eugene Levy. Hey Grandad, you need to rent that movie with William Shatner about the professional paintballers vs. the aliens while we're down there. That looks like a fine piece of filmography right there. I'm very excited to see all of you in Phoenix next week and I'm glad that the ones I won't see, I saw the majority of a couple of weeks ago in Dallas. By the way, for those of you who don't know, the title was inspired by the movie The Little Rascals.

You're a sad strange little man!
Zachary is a freakshow. I don't think he knows what he's talking about, but then when does he? I wondered if you were going to explain the title incase people were wondering. It was a good fourth of July. I don't know about the second, but the fourth was good! :) Just kidding. Yep, I'm excited to watch that paintball movie with the G-pajes! hahaha
Oh, please! How many of us get to see a fireworks extravaganza with 3 or more finales? You are so lucky. At G-Dad's, we watched fireworks on his big screen. True, it was prolly the same size as yours, but we missed the added discomfort of heat and sand. You're lucky.
Maybe all the finales, or the false ones that is, were just to distract you from the convectional oven- I mean the black top, where you were sitting. Then again maybe it was just a series of Independance Day errors.
Am I the only one who immediately thinks of "Rescue 911" when the name William Shatner is mentioned?
Fun fourth. The problem with all 4th of July's -- to me is that they are hot. Well, except in Ouray. We went to the Addison fireworks display which is billed as the best in Texas. It rained and got the fireworks wet so they were only about 2/3 as good as usual. But still, they were very good. The rain lasted only about 20 minutes. Boo
Sweet song. Indiana Jones is a stud! Well not anymore cause he's like 65.
