 wed was the only hot sunny day of the week so we went to lake wazee with nikki, pat, cam and brooklyn. it was fun; the water was cold and the bugs were kinda bad, but we had fun! we stayed about 3 hours and had picnic lunch there. 

thursday was 4th of july. Al worked until 6pm. i worked out at 915a. for supper, we went over to matt & jodi's where jodi's whole family was and matt's parents. we had a 2v2 basketball tourney, matt grilled ribs and steak, and we played games until 8pm. at 8pm we met a bunch of people at the west side gym because where they shoot off the big fireworks was not far from there. it was a great spot to watch them. we brought drinks, and chairs; the kids played football and with their friends. there were quite a few people who showed up to watch. Al did his workout there as soon as we got there. haha

friday i worked out at 9am. then us and matt, jodi & kids all road tripped it up to birchwood. we got to see a friend's cabin up there and then had lunch in birchwood. we then decided to head home instead of going over to hayward which was the original plan. we went to jodi and matt's house to hang out and play games. we ended up staying late cuz it was so nice out; we were out on the deck playing games well past dark.
