Snap, Crackle, POP!!

I had an unbelievable 4th of July weekend....and I don't mean it was spectacular (which it was). I mean that stuff that happened seemed straight out of a movie.


First off, Scott (my pretty awesome brother) was home from Maryland so everyone was stoked to see him. Since he was home everyone headed home for the holiday to hang out so that made my mom's house a youth hostel-grand total of 9 people + other people that visited and left.


I, however opted out of sleeping on an air mattress and stayed with Sierra at her place the entire...it's the little things in life you have to smile about such as not waking up on the floor cause the mattress deflated. So here goes a weekend breakdown.


Saturday:
         Sierra, Matt, and myself decided to head to Oologah lake to swim after having breakfast with the family. As soon as we get in the water a couple hanging on a raft asked if we were one of them...slightly confused Matt asked what they meant. The couple explained that they were having a narcotics rehab sober living celebration at the lake that weekend and that were there 200 of them there and they thought we were one of them. Matt's response was simple sorry but no we aren't...they swam away fast. We then were wondering if we looked like former crack heads with our full set of pearly whites and clear skin and no tattoos and not chain smoking cigarettes to replace one addiction with another. They then start a serenity prayer in the middle of the water. When we were laying out there was man arguing with a woman about stealing his rafts and the rangers got involved. Then about 20 minutes later we are in the water again and this boat is cranking the engine and it is obviously water logged but the dad did not give up and it is floating towards the swimming section as he cranks it one last final time when the motor lights on fire. The rangers on shore are still dealing with the raft ordeal and Sierra with her super whistling powers saves the day to get their attention where they casually walk to the fire while another couple dashes to the fire and grab the extinguisher out of their boat and have the fire out before the rangers get down to shore. Fast forward another 30 minutes and the man is getting arrested by the sheriff.


Later in the evening Sierra said we should have worn our new shirts. Our Uncle has a pharmacy and they sell store t-shirts that on the back say "Where do you get your drugs?" Haha Classic!





Sunday:
        Hung out at the lake again then started our family festivities and celebrated with fireworks. Had some delicious food and some pretty loud firecrackers. But Sierra and Shelb's friend Luke had the "Manly man firework package" Packed full of fountains and sparklers-pretty sure his were voted the best....or maybe the funniest.





Monday:
        We all celebrated with a late lunch with my dad and his parents and got to visit with them for a bit. Now if only they would cook burgers like that for Christmas instead of random selection of shrimp, chili, and cheese....
