4th of july

So the 4th of july this year was pretty entertaining. It started out with me waking up way to hung over to cope with what the day was going to hold for me. I was persuaded to hit up the bars down in kirkland the mnight before and had fun i and saw some people i haven't seen in a while but that always results in rounds of drinks so i had to much and paid for it in the morning. Woke up on the fourth in a haze and what not to do on the 4th than to cure a head ache with a bunch of fireworks! So sat in the driveway and lit off firecrackers and bottle rockets, talked to neighbors and did whatever i could to hide my pounding headache. Then it was BBQ time with 17 friends whom were attending the firework show on lake union that evening. I soon felt somewhat better when i was on the boat but decided not to drink but 2 beers after seeing the shit show the folk that i was with perform. So once again i showed pieces of responsibilty and was the sober one of the event. I assited in spending 45mins trying to anchor the boat down.(apparently its all sand at the bottom of l.union) I ended up having to catch a girl who tripped trying to hop from one boat to another, then had to clean up a bloody foot and throw a band aid on antoher ladies foot. I was kept busy but had fun in the meantime. Sober fun who knew...? Secretly my reason for not drinking besides a rough night before was to be completely aware and awake for the spectacular firework show that went on display at 10:20pm. (last year i drank to much i missed the majority of the firework show). I just loved seeing the show from the water. It was amazing and jamming to 102.5 which had a playlist going to the tempo of the firework show. It was dope. So in all a good trip minus a few pieces here and there. Jared's camera sucks becasue the owner doesn't take nearly enough pictures and it won't produce a shot at night so i will show a few i liked and one of how terrible his camera is haha. All i wanted was a gorgeous shot of the night light of the seattle skyline.

Glad to see some more posts and yes you can have lots of fun not wasted. Glad to hear that Jared wasn't having to be resposible. Way too go. I must say from a far your fireworks looked pretty darn good.
