July

To start off the month of July, we went to the city's Independence Day Jubilee...Fun? Not so much. I told Justin at the end that if it wasn't for the fact I was with my family, that was the WORST activity we've ever done. He agreed and I know Danielle did too. We started out by putting our blanket on a nice grassy hill and then I took Carter with Danielle, Keagan and Libby to get some food. Well, we waited in line for a good hour and a half...so annoying! But when we got back, the night just got worse! There was a HUGE crowd of rude teenagers surrounding our blanket. By surrounding I mean literally touching every edge with their heels and randomly stepping right accross it. I was yelling at so many of them and hovering over Carter so he didn't get stepped on. Well, then someone came and was holding a cigarrette right over Kelsie's head!!! That was the last straw for me, I couldn't handle the stress of where we were sitting. I felt like we were going to get trampled, so when Justin got back from getting drinks, we moved, but it took a few moves to where we were cleared from smoking people...yuck! We got to watch fireworks at the end, which was the only fun part, as then getting out of there afterward was insane. So, the pictures look like we're having fun, but really it was the craziest outing I've ever experienced and won't be repeated next year!
