July 4th Comedy of Errors...

Many that know us and know us well know that we can't make big plans or take a vacation without disaster. Tonight's event was no exception. The story, at its funniest, is really too long to type in a blog if I want anyone to read it, so I'm just going to make a list of descriptive words & will let you fill in the blanks. Imagine the worst & you may get close!

The group we were meeting: no-shows.

The weather: hot, humid, hot & hot.

The music: not good.

The air conditioned areas: non-existent.

The Dairy Queen: closed.

Stephen: crying.

The park: fire ants!

The van: trapped in by the parade crowds.

The refreshments: pricey.

The purchased refreshments: all over the ground.

The parade: missed most of it.

The restrooms: Too far away.

The fireworks: missed those, too.

Our family: over-heated by 5pm; gone by 6pm.

The dinner: slow.

The waitress: forgetful.

The food: greasy.

Lisa's stomach: uhhh... bad.

The grocery trip: broke the bank.

The kids: sent to their grandparents.

The parents: tired, hurting and gassy.

That's about as short as I could get it. Got to go to the bathroom now.........
