Independence Day Celebrations

This weekend we celebrated all weekend. On July 3rd we went to Lone Star Park for horse racing and fireworks. Dorothy, Jason and Stephany really loved betting on the horses. Steve and I placed 2 small bets and won on the second and stopped. Steve is switching jobs right now so we were being frugal. The other 3 were hilarious to watch planning their next move and the good news is they broke even or came out ahead by the end of the night. The fireworks after the races were fabulous and coordinated great with the music.

The 4th of July we started with brisket at our house and then a big group headed out to an area on the Trinity River. The set up was not quite as good but they did have yummy free watermelon. The fireworks did not start until the minor league baseball game ended, we didn't go into the game but still had to wait for 13 innings before the fireworks started. It was about midnight when that happened and it was an okay show but not as good as the night before. We still had a good time hanging out with everyone. Now today is all about rest.
