Fourth of July Wrapup

After yesterday's bike ride, we headed down to my parent's house for the Smithson family 4th of July BBQ. As always, the food was fantastic and we had a great time. I spent another hour or so hanging out in the pool with some of the family friends... it's definitely been a wet weekend!

Yesterday's festivities ended with a migraine at about 2am. Not entirely sure what caused that one, but I suspect that hanging out in the heat drinking beer and caffeine may have had something to do with it. Needless to say, this morning is pretty much shot thanks to the migraine hangover. Mike and I did make a trek down to the game camera as it's been a couple weeks since we've checked out what was on there. Unfortunately, the batteries went dead sometime around 6/23, so we only had four pictures. In fact, I'm pretty sure that for the last couple weeks the mountain lions have been dancing in front of it, knowing it's off. There's a ton of turkey poo around there as well, so we missed some bird pictures.

I'm lucky enough to have today off, so I plan to spend the rest of the day just hanging out with Mike and Shadow. We don't have any real plans beyond watching today's stage of the Tour de France. We did start up our own Tour de France fantasy cycling team - if you win the overall competition you win a trip to next year's Tour! We are planning on going anyway, so winning the trip would be awesome! It's a fun game to play even if we don't win. You basically pick 15 riders and can have 9 of them active for each stage. They get assigned points based on where they finish and if they're wearing any of the major jerseys at the end of the day. We'll see how we do!
