The Holiday Weekend continued yesterday. My new ward meets in the morning, and is just a 2 minute walk away, which is incredibly convenient and attractive after so many years of going in the afternoon. I was home by noon, changed into my casual clothes by 12:15 then started working on my dish to take to our family dinner. While I was cooking, I watched 1776 on TCM - I really love that show, and continued reading from "Founding Mothers".
By 3:30 I was on my way to my brother's. Played with the kids (both of the kids have new beds they were excited to show me), grilled some fruit and some chicken, then went outside and helped with the fireworks. The kids were too excited to wait until dusk, so we actually started around 6:15. My niece got bored pretty quick, but my nephew totally loved every minute of it, and really enjoyed helping his Dad set everything up. We had a great evening. I left there around 8:30, and arrived home in time to watch the rest of "A Capitol 4th" on PBS. I actually got the fireworks in stereo - on the TV, as well as outside.
This morning I left early to head up to Bountiful. Played a round of golf with Janeen, then met up with Inge for lunch at Arella Pizzeria before heading to the theater to see "The Last Airbender". It was pretty lame, but thanks to Inge, I did not have to pay for my ticket.
