Happy 4th!

My weekend has been huge, long, and exhausting. Where do I start... I guess I'll start with Saturday.
Auburn did the fourth of July celebration on the 2nd. I started the day with a parade. Me an' two of my brothers (Patric and Tim) marched in the parade. We had to wait in a church parking lot for and hour :P

After the parade the three of us had a demo at the park where Auburn was celebrating the 4th. Then Tim and I went home and shoved some food in our mouths so we could go back to the park and watch live music performances. In short I; participated in a pie eating contest(and came in last place) did a balloon toss,(and came in first place) bought ice-cream, won a free Italion Ice, and watched people sing onstage.

At 9:00 my parents, Sean, Patric, my cousin Ethan and my other cousin Sara, plus my Aunt and Uncle came to watch the firworks. It was Sara's first time watching the firworks. She didn't really end up watching the firworks because some time around the second one that went up, she hid her face in her blanket and clung to my uncle like the world was exploding XD

That was just Saturday. On Sunday my family went to Conneticut to pick up my sister. Brighid's friends grandparents own a beach home, so we spent a good three hours at the beach :) The water was freezing so I didn't go in, but I made a sand castle with Claudia who is six. She picked up some shells and helped decorate it and make the flag.
That was my huge weekend. Now all five of us are exhausted. LOL. And tomorrow is Patric's birthday. I need to go wrap his present :) I'll blog again soon:)
