My best friend, Alison, came to visit for the Fourth of July. What fun!! We've been friends since the first week of college, where we met while brushing our teeth. She lives in Ohio, so our visits are few and far between. Thanks to the miracles of science, though, we are able to talk, chat, or text daily.
Still, time in the same zip code is precious so we literally cram a year's worth of activities into a tiny little window. Some of the things we did in the week she was here include: painting, playing Trivial Pursuit, cooking recipes from Pinterest, going to the beach, seeing Magic Mike (ahem...twice...), and lighting stuff on fire.
Haha! Really! We got together with Deanna and Tom for some fireworks on Independence Day. Nothing says freedom like bottle rockets. True story - this was the first time I've really done anything fireworky since I almost burned off my hand with a sparkler when I was a kid. As a teen, my pyrotechnics were more confined to campfire rings. Anyway, my camera actually has a firework setting, so here are some highlights!
I think the next two were bottle rockets. I've no idea why they are called bottle rockets. They didn't look like bottles OR rockets. Wait.
That one kind of does look like a rocket, if you squint. This next one is my favorite... so gorg:
Aww, what a fun week! Here we are just being goobers for the camera. I like the way my eyes match my dress in addition to Ali's headband. We did not plan this.
What a fun week!
How often do you get to see your bestie? What do you do for fun?
