Summer 2009
[I updated this post with pictures.]
The 4th of July marked the actual real beginning of my summer. Despite not being home for more than 1.5 days a month, its amazing how much it is pretty much the same after being here for about 3 days. I start to feel really lazy and fat >_> I start feeling really unproductive like I need to study or something (which I actually need to do). I turned in my practicum portfolio and hope the contents are A-ok. I'll find out by the end of July I guess.
Anyway 4th of July was fun. I got to spend it with the next generation of cousins. We had it at my grandfather's house and then we went to my uncle's house to watch fireworks in his backyard. They had a 25 minute fireworks show at the local high school and it was clearly visible at his house. Perfect seats in the comfort of a grassy backyard patio. :) I didn't bother taking pictures of fireworks since they all pretty much look the same no matter where you go. But they were nice. The little cousins were "oooh" ing and "ahhhh" ing with each burst of color while I sat in the lawn chair and petted Mugsy (an 8-year old gray hound), and ate some maui kettle chips. Oakley (a gigantic rust colored retriever type dog) cowered in the garage. My uncle also showed us a slide show of his grad children (my cousins' babies who live in Kalamazoo, Michigan. They're growing so big. I'm glad they'll be back here later this year.
Last month, my mom's siter passed away. Despite this, the 4th of July celebration still continued and my cousins in Canada are prepping for my little nephew's baptism. Later this month is my lola's death anniversary, my two nephews' birthdays, my cousin's birthday, and bebeh's friend's wedding which will be at Palos Verdes I think. Busy, busy. I still dont have a dress to wear. So, all in all, a very busy summer thus far and I haven't really had that much time to relax. I did get burnt though. Thanks to the hot, hot, hot, scorching sun, beach, and California weather. Maybe it will melt away my fat >_>
Last of my fun summer days.
