Fireworks
Just a few pictures-and maybe even some entertaining stories from this 4th of july holiday.
On saturday JC and I went to Amys grandmas waaay out in the country and hung out with her and chuck for the night. jc had a pretty good time bombarding me with snap dragons, then he and chuck struggled to set up a badminton net while amy and i talked about birdies in the bird bath. once we started playing chuck claimed that he once attended oxford university where he played badminton extensively-but we couldnt tell. he also claimed that at oxford you dont fart, or poop-or release anything from your back door. we also talked pretty seriously about dirt cake, then ate some. all in all it was a great time. here are some pictures from that day/night:
Next fireworks party was on sunday. Beaze and Mitch hauled over a bunch of fireworks they bought in Tennessee and we set them off in my back yard.

The final fireworks event of the holiday was on, of course, the fourth. JC, todd, dustin, fro, and I went to eat at fridays where we had a douche/idiot for a waiter. Then we got ice and loaded up our cooler and jc navigated us through downtown lex. traffic in just enough time to park (in quite a classy area, mind you) grab our cooler and snacks, and find a spot to sit. So we found a grassy hill where a good amount of people were sitting and figured it couldnt be too far from where they set off the fireworks or else all those people wouldnt be there. so we sit down on the wet ground (we left our blanket in the car-thinking we wouldnt need it) and start on our snacks until the fireworks start. they started just a couple minutes after we got there, and it turned out they were setting them off pretty much right on the spot where we were. good luck, huh? so we watched those, they were good, blah, blah. then we pack up and start heading back to the car when all these police vehicles start going crazy. we look up and this helicoptor is shining its light on the area where we parked. so we, along with tons of other people, go to the spot and nothing is going on-excpet the police are hanging out right in the intersection. so we get in the car and the traffic is ridiculous. well we all decide that jc can manage in front of this white suv beside us. so we try it out, and the suv was not having that! hes pretty much on top of us and hes pissed. so we let him pass us and then what does he do? he lets a couple other cars get in front of him! what a jerk! We finally get out of traffic and are on ur way home and then jc cuts off this car filled with white trash and gangsters behind us. instead of the typical honking of the horn, flipping the bird-they decide to get in front of us and swerve all over the road-THEN the guy sitting in the passengers seat gets out of the window and sits on the window yelling who knows what and flipping us off. we all thought he was going to shoot us-but we still laughed through the whole thing. what a night...
Thats all. If you care to see anymore of the pictures they're all here: http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/lthorn83/fireworks/
