The Pursuit Of Happiness - Entry #335

Had another great fifth of July. You may remember my post last year about the fun fourth of July celebration on the fifth with Lauren at her dad's girlfriends country club. Well we were invited back this year and had another great night of food, airbrushed tattoos (I may have gotten a little carried away this year), dancing, fireworks, and people.

 

Lauren and I got an awesome golf cart ride (it was my first time) from our car to the course. We met up with her dad and his girlfriend where we scoped out what was going on and I found the giant chocolate chunk cookies to start eating. We chatted for a but before grabbing a ton of dinner consisting of hotdogs, hamburgers, corn, and various salads. And my night was made when I spotted the person out of 1,000 people with the most amazing pants of the night, who hilariously ended up being seated out our table



Everything was pretty delicious and I may have eaten way too many cookies. Next was the airbrushed tattoos. We waited in line and decided what we wanted…x3. I got flowers on my leg, a giraffe behind my ear, and a dragonfly on my wrist. Lauren contained herself and got only one, an awesome goldfish on foot.




They had the obstacle course from last year but we opted out because Lauren didn't want to hurt herself again. I think she was just scared to lose to me again, especially because I came prepared with obstacle course clothes this time rather then a skirt :P. Then we danced it up some…had to work off the cookies somehow and waited for fireworks which had an awesome finale. It was a ton of fun and a great way to end the Independence Day festivities.

Happy 5th of July

I know, I know, you are probably thinking, this girl is pretty dumb. We don't celebrate the 5th of July, we celebrate the 4th of July. But the title is intentional. While I did celebrate Independence Day on July 4, the traditional celebration came a day late.

My 4th was filled with friends, food, and movies, but outside of wearing red, white, and blue, it was nothing more then a relaxing weekend day in the middle of the week. The real celebrating did not begin until Friday. I went to a 4th of July celebration (on the 5th) at (get ready for confusion) my friend, Lauren's, dad's, girlfriend's country club.

We got to the club around six and settled in. They had people giving out airbrushed tattoos. I got a butterfly on my foot, and Lauren got two bears holding hands with a balloon and flowers on her ankle.

We then checked out the food. There were whole pigs....gross. Apparently it was delicious though; I wouldn't know I don't eat pork products. And, even if I did eat pork, I don't know if I would have last night. I ate a lot of picnic food: potato salad, a hamburger, corn on the cob, chips and guac, watermelon, and cookies. Yum.


There were a  lot of activities going on. They had parachuters jump from a helicopter with an American flag. There was an inflatable obstacle course. A little difficult to complete in a skirt without flashing everybody, but of course I raced Lauren. And, although, she won't admit it I totally won, twice. The DJ played music and got the kids involved with prizes. We got some sweet red, white, and blue glow necklaces.


After festivities came the long awaited fireworks. And, they were pretty good. Of course it was no D.C.  show, but hey, I will take what I can get. The fireworks were set to music which was different in a nice way, and they lasted a pretty long time.
