Good 4th of July Celebration-- Part 8-- Day After Party-- Spring Grove Fireworks

Drove back to Fox Lake and had our annual Day After Party with Kevin and Kelly and some friends. We had been disappointed at their End-of-the-Year party back in early June as those alcoholics had finished off the keg.

However, yesterday, the crew hadn't and it was up to us to help put the keg out of its memory. It was quite the challenge, but after awhile we had that thing sputtering up suds and crying out "Beer Me." No drops were lost and we had no casualties other than Cozmo the dog who got really wrapped around the gazebo. After careful work, he was let loose.

There was a goodly amount of food and snacks that had to be finished off, but we fell down a bit here as we'd had that big burger at Mar's earlier. At least that's my excuse.


FIREWORKS, THIS TIME

We came back home after the clean pitchers. We were able to see the fireworks from Spring Grove very well from the driveway. At least we were able to see it after we couldn't really see much of Fox Lake's last night.

But, judging from the height of one of our neighbor's trees, we won't be able to see much in about five more years.

The skeeters were as bad as I ever remember them being. It was ooh, slap, ahh11, slap, slap, slap, ooh!! I hate those guys as much, if not more than those lousy Japanese beetles.
