I went to lunch, with my parents. They wanted Chinese food. Nothing says Happy 4th of July like Chinese food. (took a photo opp with my cell phone but not my camera.. bugger) ANY WHO.. then went to a movie with my mom and grandma. Saw The Proposal again. SO FUNNY!!!After that we headed to my aunt & uncles house to see the Murray Fireworks. (they have a really good view from their house). Little did we know what would "go down" in their neighborhood. Let me paint a little picture for you...
Begin scene:
Fireworks start... neighbors are all out in their front yards (they live in a cul-de-sac). Cop car pulls in with his lights off. Then leaves... (the neighbors were sweatin bullets because earlier they were lighting off some illegal fireworks). 5 minutes later Honda Civic comes around the corner along with a cop car with its full lights on. Civic pulls into the circle, cop car follows, civic turns around to leave the circle, cop, in car, yells STOP THE CAR, she proceeds to try and drive around the cop car. Cop gets out of car and yells again.. STOP THE CAR.. she stops. He then yells get out of the car.. get out of the car.. PULLS HIS GUN... (yes gun) yells at the neighbors 'everyone inside'. Do we move? (and miss all the action?! hheeeeck no!) Grant it this was happening behind us, so "techincally" he was telling the people behind us to go inside. He yells again.. out of the car! Girl complies, gets out of the car, he cuffs her and puts her in the back of the cop car. Meanwhile.. fireworks are still going off, we try and divert our attention back to the fireworks (RIIIGHT like we could do that) cop calls for back up. LONG story short. Fireworks end, find out the girl was involved with a hit and run and we think, there was an open container in her vehicle. End scene.
How is that for an end to an awesome 4th?! :)
On Sunday I celebrated with the family and had the traditional 4th of July BBQ feast.

See-saw.. was.. umm see-sawed(?)
Ice cream was consumed...

Holy cow. Nothing says, "I love America," like fireworks and a police stand off. (So my friend sent me a link to the blog seriouslysoblessed.blogspot.com soooo worth a look if you haven't seen it already. I think it's right up your ally. At least it was totally up mine. Like way up it. Tender mercies.)
That was an exciting Fourth! glad you had fun with your family. Holidays are always fun when the whole family is together
Ok Melissa... that blog is HILARIOUS!!! I will be checking back on that one for sure.. so right up my ally!! (lol tender mercies).
Mary- it was a good 4th boring at the beginning.. but ended up being a little exciting! :)
haha. Nothing says God Bless the USA like police chase in the cul de sac! Seriously, how funny! Good times with the Chinese Food. I guess you were exercising your right to culinary diversity, eh?
haha!! Good ol' Utah celebratin' is what I say! That's a great night! Also, Chinese is the official stand in cuisine of all holidays. It famously stood in for the failed Christmas dinner in the Christmas Story because of the darn Bumpus dogs. Enjoy your Thanksgiving teriyaki stir fry!
