Lawn got mowed · 7/5/2007

I came home knowing I needed to mow the lawn. It had rained for like 20 days in a row and now that that has slowed down the lawn took off growing. Since I had to worry about the 'yard-police' next I figured it was time to mow the lawn and scheduled to spend the evening mowing.

I was pleasantly surprised when I found that Daniel had mowed half the back yard. That was a great help and meant I didn't have to do it all. It took him a while to do it all and I had didn't even finish it in one day. I wanted to get the front done first so the back wouldn't be as noticeable.

One of the reasons he did it is because in his rank advancement for Boy Scouts he was told he had to wear his rank patch upside down until he did 2 unsolicited good deeds. This one definitely counts as one.

4th of July · 7/4/2007

The 4th of July was mixed. We got up late, quite a bit later than we wanted to, but it was nice to be able to sleep in for a change. We got about 14 (it was 17) caches printed up to go geocaching near where we planned to see fireworks. We went to eat at a place that served pork BBQ cause Michelle wanted some pork BBQ (i wanted bbq, any would do, just didnt want brisquet). We went to Pappy's. It was allright but over priced. We need to find something better.

While we were there I input all the codes into the GPS so we can go geocaching. We found some and others we spent too long looking for the cache which wasn't there. We still had a good time, but I think I got some chiggers again as I didn't apply any deet going into the grass. (i did..lol, im chigger free!-Michelle)

The fireworks were not what we expected. They were good but way too short and started too late. We were able to see most of the fireworks at the ballpark a few miles away and then about 30 minutes later ours started (speak for yourself, i didnt see much of that, the other car was blocking my view most of the night). I noticed the parking ticket thingy was labelled as bricktown so maybe they had the same crew run both shows. The problem was that made ours too short and late. The other one didn't start till after the ball game which pushed ours back. The one at the ballpark looked to be 2 to 3 times longer than ours. Oh well...
