For the 3rd my mom, Isaac, and I went to a family friends house near Beeds Lake and watched the fireworks from her driveway. I've never seen the Beeds Lake fireworks before and have always heard how horrible and slow they were, but I didn't think they were too bad. There wasn't too long of pauses between them so maybe they were better than usual this year I'm not really sure.
On the 4th I headed to Des Moines and went to the Ramada Inn, which has an indoor waterpark. There I met up with Courtney and her mom, and her cousin Kelly and Kelly's kids. During spring break of my sophomore year I went with Courtney to New Mexico and stayed with Kelly's family. It was great to see them all again and to hang out all the pool pretty much all day. I was really sore the next day from all the swimming, carrying, etc. that we did that dad. After swimming we went out to eat at Applebees. Then we separated and Courtney and I met up with Amy, Matthew, Steph, Amanda, and a couple other people and went to the fireworks in Urbandale. They were pretty good fireworks and listening to Amy's comments while watching was very entertaining.
On Saturday I headed to Waterloo to hang out with Traci. I got there sometime in the afternoon and talked with Traci and Anna for a while. Then Traci and I left and went to Walmart, Hobby Lobby, and Staples to do some errands. When we got back we made some guacamole (which was delicious and I ate a ton of it) and grilled brats and ate that. Then we watched the movie the Ides of March, and then walked over to where they were shooting off fireworks and watched them. In the morning I went to church with Traci and then we spent some time watching Wimbledon. So now I'm very knowledgeable about tennis ;)
