Independence and lols, 2011
~The Fourth of July~. We went to my dad's uncle's like usual. They live on the lake and just bought the house next door to theirs because they wanted MOAR. I was upset Tracy wasn't there, my dad's cousin's photographer wife who I will get to later because she is a HUGE FUCKING HELP TO MY LIFE. I brought Jason. I've never brought a boy to a huge dad!family function. My great aunt Sally, she is mine and my sister's favorite always, met him and the first thing she said was "he's darling" like to herself even though we were right there and it was adorable, okay. So I don't know, not much to report but it was fun. I wore my new dress with red bows that tie in the back, we sat and rank and just kind of hung out and the weather was fucking beautiful, okay.
OMG AREN'T THEY THE CUTEST. My great aunt and uncle, GUESS WHAT THEY HAD IN THEIR FANCY OLD FASHIONED CAR?! FRENCH FRIES. THIS IS HOW THEY CHOSE TO BRING THEIR HOME-FRIED FRENCH FRIES TO THE BACKYARD.
omg I love them.

Jason teaching my second (third? IDK HOW IT WORKS) cousins how to do cartwheels! It was adorable!
zero photoshop, I swear to god.

Jason and I were going to go to one of his circus friend's party but it was an hour and a half away and we didn't want to waste that much of the day in the car, especially since we both had to get up for work the next morning. Ali said she was going to a specific lake bar so we decided to meet her. We stopped at Lindsey's house because it was on the way, she's in LA but we wanted to say hi to her parents. They are so fucking sweet and they were so happy to see us. Her mom mentioned one of their neighbors and Jason knew the name, turns out he's been talking to him on the phone like every week about his little son who wants to get into stunts. So she brought us over and introduced us to him, he was super nice too, telling us to stay and have food even though he literally just met us. We talked to him for awhile and I didn't know until after the fact that he works for/owns/IDR a huge local ad agency. Lindsey's mom was like, "LISS I FORGOT TO TELL YOU, HE'S IN ADVERTISING SO YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY TALK TO HIM MORE!!" I just thought it was so cute that she even knows I do all that stuff. It's not a stretch but still. Adorable.
We walked to the bar from there and we got there JUST IN TIME for fireworks and just HAPPENED to get a lucky spot right on the railing, hidden behind some tiny hut. I DIDN'T HAVE A TRIPOD BUT I TRIED MY BEST, lol.
WE ALSO HAD SO MUCH FUN TAKING VIDEO, PLAYING WITH THE FOCUS AND STUFF!! I'll probably show you later, Vimeo is freaking out at me because I just uploaded a bunch of shit. Plus it takes really long in gen and I'm sick of it rn.
We finally found Ali and then I was sitting in the bar waiting for her to go to the bathroom and my very drunk friend Rachel came up and screamed "LISS!!!!!!111". We had so much fun, I TRIED A NEW DRINK, it was called a ~Grape Ape~ and it is like LITERAL FUCKING CANDY!!! And I don't even know, there was this friend of a friend who kept spitting on us, and then we ordered french fries and danced and shit and I don't have specifics but it was fun.
lol, so much American freedom and love that day. ♥
