A very merry Un-4th of July

I tried to upload the video (which was way good), but it was taking too long, so you get this lame picture :)

I just figured everyone was naming their recent posts something to do with the 4th of July so I went in a different direction. Like other holidays, this one is over taken by picnics at the lake, extended weekends, and unimportant things that have nothing to do with the purpose of the day. And we did it all. Haha, just kidding. I did however spend the day thinking about my grandfathers (and the many others) who have served/are serving for our country and given us these wonderful lives- you know the one's where we can take a long weekend, go to the lake, and shoot fireworks. On the other hand, we did have our friends Joey and Kira come visit and had a great weekend with them. Friday we headed out to Cooper's for some good ol' BBQ. Then we started our typical weekend of staying up entirely too late playing Mario Bros. Saturday we tested out the famous Round Rock donuts with their incredible 14 inch donut. Joey and Kira bought one and between the 4 of us we didn't finish it (much of that was due to the fact that it was chocolate glazed and it was WAY too much chocolate-if there is such a thing). Then we continued our spree of eating at Pluckers with Matt. 5 delicious lemon pepper wings later and we were all full. Sunday we laid low until around 9 when we headed out to Georgetown for a fireworks show- you know, the true meaning of the holiday :) We had a great weekend and thank J&K for making the trek from Houston once again. Hopefully we'll get to visit you guys soon!

This weekend we have friends from our old Trophy Club Ward coming to visit: Forest and Jenny. Yep, you read that right. They're like peas and carrots :) They don't get that ever I'm sure....just like I never get "Yo Adrienne!!!!". Yeah, that never happens. Anywho, they're heading in tomorrow to keep Austin weird- a little saying we have here.
It's been a crazy whirlwind of a Summer but we're enjoying it.
