Fourth of July 2010

OK here is the drill for Fourth of July

1.  Sleep on the Tramp the night before and watch the fireworks in the sky. 

2.  Jeff takes a kid or two to get a spot for watching the parade.  Throw the football and eat donuts while waiting.

3.  Watch the parade.  Be obnoxious and get lots of candy.

4.  Go to Kate Courley Park.  Eat, play and eat.  Then drive home without any traffic.

5.  Find or host a volleyball game in the scorching hot sun.  This year we went to a tournament, but my doctor said I couldn't play.  (Recent surgery) Jeff, Anna and Kate did.

6.  Have a barbeque at Grammie and Grandads

7.  Go to the greenbelt 1/2 hour before the fireworks and find a great spot.  Most people don't need as much room as they save and when the fireworks start, there is always room. I haven't ever slept on the tramp because when this traditon started, I always had babies.  Well this year Jeff challenged me to do it.  I took the challenge and did it.  The Webbs joined us this year.  From 10:00pm to 12:00pm it is awesome.  Then the sleeping part is slightly on the brutal side because we all gravitate to the middle and interlock feet to keep from sliding in.  Jeff said this may have to be his last year.  We'll see.
