Shapeshifting

not that exciting.
It was kind of a let down actually.
I was very excited fr it to come around this year. The food. The fireworks. It's all really cool.
We all (the fam plus Kyle) went to Mike and Wanda's for a cookout. It was ok, but there was no one there under forty except Kyle, Me, and m little brother. I couldn't get in the pool (I fell down the stairs few days ago and when I reached out to grab the banister, it scraped the skin off most of my fingers. ew.) either, so it was a bit of a bust. My brother had a great time, though. He was really sweet running around the pool. He ended up falling asleep in the sun with their cat.
Then we went to my grandmother's house. She has a huge party every year. But once again, we three were the only younger ones there. We ate some more and then Kyle and I departed for Emporia for fireworks.
But we missed them.
And the entire night the only food I even enjoyed was the coleslaw at Mike and Wanda's.
It wasn't a bad night.
But 4th of July is supposed to be mindblowing, right?

(But at least 1776 was on Turner Classic Movies...)
