Every year, the city of Kennesaw does fireworks on the 3rd of July. We got together with Trev, Mandy and Kennie and had a picnic and watched the fireworks. It was so fun. Later that evening, we decided to get what a lot of people have been raving about...Rock Band! Ok, so we stayed up until 2am playing!! We named our band "The Suxx" because we were terrible at first but we have gotten so much better. When you play a show, you have to succeed as a band. You're able to save a member of the band during a song if they got kicked off for playing poorly. Each person can play at a different level of difficulty. It's pretty cool. Most of the time we didn't have a singer but just drums, bass and guitar. Trevor aka Lizard Blood (yes, that was his band name) fell asleep, so me, Tom and Mandy were a 3 piece band. We were able to unlock songs and venues as well as win a tour bus with our mad skills:) They ended up spending the night and we made breakfast later on that morning. It's great to be in the company of good friends.
On the 4th, we had a BBQ at a friends house and then went to see the 4th of July fireworks at the Marietta square. I've never gone to the square for fireworks. It was carnival style with funnel cakes, boiled peanuts, corn dogs, etc. The fireworks were good and the atmosphere was fun. We did have some drama at the end of the evening, however, where some punk kids threw a water ballooon at us from off of a parking deck that was beside where we were sitting. They also threw pizza, too (not at us). What the heck? Our guys went up to the top of the deck to check out the scene. Why do people do stupid stuff like that? If you want to do that to each other, whatever floats your boat. But at people you don't even know? We had a baby with us too. Weird... We went back to our friends and made s'mores and chilled by the fire. We were out again until 2am. Needless to say, we slept IN on Saturday!
What a holiday!! Good times, good food, good friends.
