The rule is that you can still write about the 4th of July as long as it's still
technically July, right? Okay, awesome.
So usually I head to the
beach house in Galveston with the family for Independence Day every year. I was bummed that it wasn't going to happen this summer, but my day in East Texas ended up being pretty perfect!
First of all, I took the day off and slept in until 10. HOLLA, y'all.
Second, I met up with Emily, Lacey, and Lori at Stanley's BBQ, a local favorite. As you can see, it was pretty epic.

| Pictured: epicness. You need to go to there. |
 |
| Lori with the famous Baby Wade |
 |
| Lace is intimidated by her giant/delicious baked potato |
 |
| Awwwww yeah |
 |
| She is happiest when eating barbecue. |
From there we headed back to my apartment for some serious pool time. Which included lots of talking, reading magazines, and sipping on sophisticated beverages.
 |
| This is how we roll. |
|
We spent our evening with a group at Lori's house, eating way too much and looking way too cute, or at least I think so.
 |
| I mean, back me up here. |
 |
| Future roommates! More on that to come... |
Fireworks to wrap up the evening?
 |
| Boom. Shaka laka. |
Even better: these are the fireworks from one of the best movies of all time, THE SANDLOT.
 |
| Yeah yeah! |
God bless America.
