So the 4th of July 2008. All I can say is ouch.
Five families all got together and went to Brain and Melissa's for dinner and fireworks. Since we live in the county everyone in my neighborhood does fireworks. It is getting to the point to see who will outdo the next person. So we are sitting around the drive way having a great time and about an hour into it I get a surprise. I was leaning down out of my lawn chair to get something when all of the sudden I see the bright flash. and then felt it bummmmmm. Yes a firecracker went the wrong way landed in my chair and went off. I thought I was on fire and started running towards the grass screaming. However my chair was on fire. So my firecracker evening was pretty much over. My butt feels like a fire cracker exploded on it. Yes that means it hurts and this ice I'm sitting on feels pretty good...... I'm laughing now but wasn't then.
So Happy Birthday America. I had a blast!
