Let Freedom Ring!

This week I have been free from school and practices and it has been wonderful - a great refresher to get me geared back up again. I do wish that I was free from allergies, but no such luck - they're kicking my butt again this year, but I'm surviving. I've been pretty lazy this week. Just hanging around the house, watched a couple of movies and enjoyed a nice 4th with my parents and Jorel. I finally saw Transformers - I know, I'm WAY behind. I hadn't been to the movie theater for about a year until I went and saw Hancock on Wednesday. It was really good until a certain point, then I felt that it flopped... but who am I to judge? Thursday we headed to Trina and Darrel's for a BBQ which was yummy! Can't go wrong with burgers, hot dogs, fries, chips, and brownies! Then for the 4th I set up a little pool for Jorel and I so after lunch we went swimming - Ginger didn't dare join us, scaredy cat. After swimming we had a BBQ here with burgers, corn-on-the-cob, jello, potato salad, lemonade, and Dad's root beer. It was another delightful dinner. I'm not complaining to BBQ two days in a row - works for me! Ron was coaching bases at the Hurricane vs. La Verkin traditional annual softball game so we watched the last few innings. Don't worry, Hurricane won 17 - 14. The fireworks followed and lasted about 8 minutes. They were okay, nothing to brag about - and no huge bugs were buzzing in our ears - you know what I'm talking about sis! Jorel was fascinated with the fireworks and was even laughing at them by the time they were done. I would say he had a great day. Good grub, swimming, a softball game, and fireworks - can you beat it? The summer nights here are the best because its still warm enough to walk around in shorts and a T and be super comfortable. Hope that everyone could celebrate their Independence Day with lots of joy. Here's to the week of freedom!
