In the morning I went and got my fingers and toes attended to at the salon. Then I went shopping and found the cutest outfit (navy blue capris and a red/white striped tank top) for only $19! Guess what I wore out that evening. Hubby and I went out for great Italian food with friends and then we all rode our bicycles down to the river to watch the fireworks. The city did an awesome job as usual. Back home and in bed by 10:30. A good time was had by all.

Will and I started our Independence Day by sleeping in.

Then, when we rolled out of bed, we drove 30-minutes away to my parent's house to pick up some FREE Summer Fest tickets! Woohoo! (For those of you not from around here, Summer Fest is a HUGE music festival in Milwaukee. It spans over a few days (over a week) and has all sorts of different music styles.)

Once at my parent's house, we visited for awhile with my mum. My dad was sleeping (same as my Grandpa) because they went fishing in the early morning. A little visit turned into a few hours, so we wound up staying and eating a late lunch of cheeseburgers followed by a dessert of pound-cake with strawberries and whipped cream. Yummy!

Then, as we were getting into the car, my dad decided that the tires of my car were too low, so he filled them with his air compressor. I mentioned that my tail-light of my car was not working, so he dissected my car's tail light and replaced some bulbs. We found a crack in the light casing that was causing water to seep in, so he sealed that with some silicone.

As we were getting ready to leave (again), my dad pulled out his power-washer and started washing my car. We had to scrub it, but he got to play with the power-washer...

Finally, we were on the road. We got to the parking lot where the Summer Fest Shuttle picks you up (parking is nuts at Summer Fest), paid $18 for the two of us and got on the shuttle. Fifteen minutes later, we were at Summer Fest and walked around. We listened to some music, ate good food, then came home.

We watched the fireworks from our apartment parking lot later that night. Will put a sleeping bag on the grass so I could be mosquito-free while enjoying the fireworks. He had a little cooler of beer next to him... By the end of the evening, he was telling me how pretty I was and kept touching my face... -_-

Overall, it was a very fun 4th of July!

I was very tired for work the next day, but it was worth it!

(Sorry for the long post, it was hard to summarize!)

Well I didn't celebrate 4th of July as Independence Day, obviously, but I did celebrate it as my friends birthday! I was out in Brighton dressed as a lion, but my mane deflated and everyone thought I was a bear:
