I’m not really big on Fireworks, or at least I haven’t in the past few years, but I had fun this year as we took a lot of really awesome photos. Remarkably, the 4th of July has typically been a “day to remember” for me though for reasons that no longer matter or are too private to share. As for the latter it somehow involves a friend, but I’m only too glad this year our tradition was uh… not to be gone through on… if that makes any sense.

Today has been spent with the family and this is what we are currently up to:

Lakers won, baby. Oh yes.

Family came over again today even though they were all here yesterday as we celebrated Father’s Day then. Alex, Brian, and Uncle George all got pretty expensive gifts which was very surprising to them all. I think they were all pleasantly surprised and very appreciative. Pretty bomb family get-together.

I am in good spirits.

Yesterday’s dessert. Chocolate covered strawberries and bananas as well as grapes, and pineapples. So delicious!

We’ve arrived at the cabin, and I must say it’s absolutely lovely. The cabin is two stories, with three bedrooms, and a balcony in the master. The kitchen is large, there are two restrooms, and even a washer and dryer. It seems a bit much considering we’re only staying here for two days, one night… but who cares; it’s fabulous. (:

I’ve already taken it upon myself to take photos with my DSLR and perhaps later I’ll upload them onto my new shiny photolog. I have been taking photos daily, actually! but it’s hard to upload them at mi madre’s because I didn’t have the wire for the DSLR (I left my wires at Meme’s) and my macbook doesn’t have slots for memory sticks. I’ll have quite the job when I go back to UCSB, picking photos, and editing. Putting them on the blog is way easy with this Wordpress plugin I used. (:

I realize I never put a photo of my blonde hair on my blog! Well, now is a good a time as any.

Well, we’re eating popcorn now and watching Shooter. :] I love that movie. I also love snow attire! ^_^ Boots, astronaut-looking pants (lolol) and pretty & warm windbreaker jackets. W00t w00t. Haha, I was on the walkie talkie the whole time over here with my Uncle (he was in the other car) and I kept  saying “W00t w00t!” and making jokes.
