Hey, guys! How was your fourth? Mine was... interesting...
So, my family decided to go up to the hunting area where my dad, uncles, and grandpa go every year and visit them at the campground. It was decent.
The ride there was two hours long. We brought our dogs, two little rat terriers and had them in the back of the car. But, they kept trying to jump over the seat and into my, or my sister's lap. Then, we had to travel about ten miles along a dirt road in the middle of the mountains. Up there, people's cattle are free-range. So, they were up on the road and next to it. There were some calves that were too young and uneducated to run AWAY from our car. Instead, they ran alongside it, my dad honking his horn the whole time.
We made it to the campsite- a little area in the forest that was cleared so a small gathering of campers and SUVs could gather. In the back at the edge of the site was a nice little creek that ran through the valley. I loved that creek.
We were going to tie my dogs up with LONG leashes to the back of our car, but Skylar took off and broke her collar... so we had to fix that...
Then, my aunt and uncle's five-year-old Labrador tried to mount her, which she DID NOT like and turned around and snapped at him. After that, he didn't mess with her again. So, we sat around and chatted and talked for 8 hours straight... rather dull, really. Everyone who was old enough was drinking since 7am and by the time we'd gotten there at noon, everyone was slightly tipsy. A rather dull day.
I got a mosquito bite on my neck, though. I was all, "AAAH! Vampire Mosquito!" XD Yes, I was truly bored and had to find ways to entertain myself. =_=
I went for a walk and found a watermelon floating in the creek a little ways away from the campsite. YAY! Watermelon! It was random...
Then, I was able to do a demo for everyone and I SOLD ABOUT $500 WORTH OF CUTCO! YES! I got my first promotion by making it to $1000 sold!!! *cheers and woots*
And, we had hotdogs and burgers. Yum. I shared mine with my dogs since they wouldn't eat their dogfood... my dogs need to eat! They're like my children!
I had been hoping to get out of the campsite by 6pm, but we didn't leave 'til 8. Mostly because, my dad decided to have a couple of drinks and we had to wait for him to finish... =_= Luckily, my mother hates the taste of alcohol and drove us home.
We ended up getting home around 10pm, just in time for the fireworks.
And, what d'you know? The fun wasn't over yet...
OUr neighbors across the street had gotten fireworks this year. And, they were lighting them off in the street inbetween our houses. And, we're not talking those piddly little smokebombs either, we're talking those HUGE light-up-the-sky ones!
Except... one of the rocket's blew out it's bottom on the ignite and exploded IN THE STREET! My family is in the front yard watching, of course, and we hear a HUGE bang and sparks were FLYING under MY CAR (OH NO THEY DIDN'T!!! *RAGE*) and my dad's truck! Pieces were landing on our house and in our yard and a piece of burnt cardboard struck me square in the nose! (>.<) Owchies!
Luckily, nothing caught fire... though I did think I heard glass breaking... I wasn't sure, but everything of ours is fine.
Needless to say, the incident jarred me and left me worried for my family's sake. But, we're alright and I slept soundly last night.
So, that was my fourth. I stayed up until 1:30am spitting sunflower seeds, drinking soda, and watching the fireworks. :D
How was your guys'?
Thanks for reading again! I hope your weekend is fun and exciting! Have a good one! :D
