What a happy 4th of July that was :)

Well, a bunch of friends got together for a cookout at my parents house (THANK YOU MOM AND DAD!!) and then went to see some fireworks. I will say that we had to park illegally, some people were rude to us, we tried to leave early, got caught in the traffic in front of Kohls for what seemed like actualy eternity, had to cut like 8 cars off to get out of there because we were caught between two lanes and we were in our own, finally made it out to the "country" to pop our own fireworks, were ready to go home and the boys made a "grand finale" that was a total dud (sorry guys...), Wes left his cell phone in Liz's car so she had to come back and give it to us, I got a terrible headache, and then we went home. ALL of that to say though...IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!! Really! We had a great time!! Here are some pics of Scott, Jace, Wes, Steve, Joe, Jourdan, Amanda, Linde, Liz, and me:
