Hey Spidey

Happy Earth at Aphelion Day!

Crap crap crap.

I am so bad at goals.

Basically I haven't kept up with any of them.

It's okay.

I will just start over today.

How was your Independence Day?

Mine was just peachy. Recently our family has most likely consumed an entire cow farm due to excessive hamburger consumption. I swear that we have had more barbecue on our trip than we do in a year.

Problem: Fourth of July = barbecue galore. So I kinda forced our family to do something different.

I mean, I love meat and all, but I just needed a break.

But what to do? I knew that a lot of the fun places and activities would be super busy due to the holiday, so the little gears in my mind turned and turned until they came up with this stupid plan:

The mall.

It was a very stupid plan. But, regardless, I "surprised" them with a road trip to a mall a few towns over that they had never been to - and we commenced a scavenger hunt once within. It was a small activity, but that was perfect because I learned (while scavenging) that I needed to be home by three for my friend to pick me up.

Oddest Fourth of July ever.

Here is a conclusion I came to based on my day's events:

Spiderman = must see.

Fireworks = bleh.

The new Spiderman was pretty good - and I do love that they are restarting rather than continuing the plot from the last film. I may be wrong, but I believe that it is more true to the comic, and that is something that I value.

The fireworks, however, were not so good. Hey, nobody loves fire and exploding lights more than I do, but for some reason the show just didn't light me up. Maybe my standards are too high. 

Thanks a lot Disney.

And I promise that posts about our vacation will come soon - I am dreading it though!
