Independence Weekend

A nice long five day weekend was just what I was needing. Alot of relaxation was really nice. Friday was spent looking at some cars with Daniel. He is in desperate need of one. Went to a Hydunai dealer to check out the Sonata, Elantra and Accent.  Both us really liked the Elantra. The new ones have a sleeker design and come with alot of features in the standard model. No decisions made just yet. After we ended up back at Mr and Mrs Lynch's for Donna Lee, Daniel's Aunt, Surprise Birthday party. Very fun seeing everyone together with good food. After cake, Daniel and I met up with Jarred, Jacey, Ellen and Jason Duke downtown at Art Walk.  Nice to see them and meet some new people.

Saturday got to sleep in a little and then hung out at the house with Daniel watching movies on TV. Then it was off to Mirmar Outlets to shop.  Got a LUCKY jacket for $15! :) Daniel got one for $10. Good deals since its the end of the summer.  Caught up with some of Daniel's friends Wes and Angela Bell and his brother KJ at Cheeseburger in Paradise. A big UFC fight was on so we ate and watched it. 

Went to church on Sunday, followed by a 4th of July picnic.  So much good food!! Spent most of the day there and went to the Stouder's on the beach later.  A bad storm delayed our swimming in the pool, but we did.  Daniel and I took on Sas and Nate in a football game in the pool. We came out CHAMPS!! Had a nice dinner with the Stouder family then called it a night.

Had ANOTHER day of sleeping in and hanging out the house.  Daniel and I met some friends at The Bell's.  PLayed a game of FARKLE (dice game) then headed out to Punta Rassa.  Went to a little get together.  Ate some good food, played more FARKLE and stayed to watch the fireworks. Saw them across the water on Sanibel Island.

Our view. The fireworks were bigger in person.

Tired literally 5 times to get a good picture. Daniel's eyes were closed every single one.
