4th at Mithter Teve's

Our 4th of July was awesome! I have always loved the fireworks, playing with torches, the smell of black powder but this was one of the best. The entire family was invited to stay in a friend's cabin on Canyon Ferry and enjoy their fun water toys and showering out-of-doors. The showering was fun, except for the breezes that blew the cold, wet, shower curtain into your body and exposed you to the deer grazing on the hillside.

We played in the paddle boat, roamed the huge lake on the wave runner, went on boat rides, fished(with no luck), jumped on the trampoline, played catch with their dog, ate ungodly amounts of watermelon and other delicious foods, drank margaritas and watched 10's of thousands of dollars worth of fireworks explode in sparkling glory.

Except for getting frostbite in July it was a perfect weekend. Oh, didn't I tell you? While replacing the ice cube tray in the ooold freezer, my slightly damp fingers froze to the metal liner. As I whined that it was burning, my mother got a bowl of warm water to free me. I barely got my hand free before that also froze. I now have 3 purple fingers that are slightly blistered. Ouchy.
