Better late than Never

Happy a few-days-late 4th of July. David and I have a fabulous weekend free of work (well Sunday and Monday that is!) filled with fireworks, BBQs, swimming, another painting project, a mini-bazaar thing, and just relaxing together. Here's to 2 years together! haha

Our friend, Tausha, had her birthday on the 2nd so during dinner, on a whim, a few of us decided to drive down to Evanston to buy the good illegal fireworks. The worker lady told us if we spent $100 combined we could get a free $40 big firework. Of course, after we looked around it was easy to spend the $100 bucks. We got some Roman Candles, firecrackers, bottle rockets, giant exploding fireworks like at the shows, and other random fun stuff. It was a blast launching them off with people in the parking lot (don't tell Management!! haha). We had to take the huge free $40 one to the Costco parking lot though because it was WAY too big and we didn't want to get a $500 fine. We already had the fire marshall constantly circling the block because he say our fireworks driving by. I have to say that my favorite fireworks were the Roman Candles. We would shoot them while someone ran in front. Sounds dangerous but was so fun and FUNNY! I love the 4th and I'm already sad it's over.

Our illegal loot

David wanted to get this big box but it was a litte too much at $1,000!
