Spent a great 4th weekend with the boy and the family. We attempted to go swimming on Sunday but the lake was so full, the swimming beach was under water. GRRR We still had our picnic over at the Keyesport Access and I did manage to get Maggie into the water. On the way home we got caught in a hellacious storm and the boy’s truck now has hail damage. My car was at home and missed the hail but I left the windows down a bit and it was soaked. Not cool.

I took my car in to the body shop Monday afternoon, so it should be back in a week I hope. Mom is letting me drive her Impala until I get my car back. Its a nice car and all but I miss my Hemi

Monday night we drove to East St Louis to watch the fireworks from the new park by the Casino Queen. It was the perfect location and the night was gorgeous. I even managed to take a bunch of pretty great pictures considering it was the first time I attempted to photograph fireworks. I have been lax with my 365Project the past month, I’ve just been far too busy at work and at home. So I continue to take pictures here and there out of habit but I have definitely missed several days. I’m also way behind in uploading and posting the pics. Its becoming a bit time consuming and I could be spending that time updating my blogs or working on my family tree at Ancestry.com I’m not saying I’m officially quitting but its a possibility.

The end of this month we are off to Wisconsin for a family weekend to celebrate the boy’s father’s birthday. Should be a great time, as it always is.

Oh and the boy is officially switching to Verizon and a DROID 2 phone! It shipped yesterday so it should be here any time now. Sis seems to be enjoying her Galaxy Tablet too.
