My 4th of Firsts

It was a wonderful weekend of family time, food, fireworks, and firsts.

I ran my fist 5K. And by 5K, I mean the one I mapped out the night before. No competition - no one to laugh at me - it was PERFECT. I even won.

I flew my first kite. Can you believe I'm almost 28, and have never flown a kite? Rob thought I was joking - but quickly realized I was being honest when he asked me to help him launch it. It took five minutes for me to understand what he meant by hold the kite on the sides and then let go when I say.





And finally, I hosted my first 4th of July party (okay - I had some family over). But we had lots and lots of yummy food, enjoyed a massive illegal fireworks display (on a neighbor's dime), played with water balloons, enjoyed good music and roasted smores in our new fire pit.






Hope you all had a fun filled fourth!

Looks like a fun 4th indeed!! Good for you with the whole 5k thing - I would have run it with you...and I wouldn't have laughed at you AND you probably would have still won! Call me up next time!

Looks like you had such a great time!!! It's weird seeing Johnny and Sierra there. :) And by "it's weird" I mean I miss them and I wish ALL of you lived closer!!!
