The first half of the 4th of July was spent at the school getting ready for their graduation which is on Friday (tomorrow!) But also, the kids made bug hats that they could wear home.
They're a crazy bunch.

So being as my current social life is 15% that of what I am normally used to, I had to do the best with what I've got for the 4th of July.
So I rallied the troops together (troops being: me, Kristi, my 2 other American roommates, and our new additional South African roommate who is replacing one of the other Americans in a week) and suggested we celebrate our homeland's birthday. So we all pitched in and got stuff for steak burgers, kabobs, grilled mushrooms (I passed...), and fireworks and sparklers.
I know food pictures are as boring as C-Span but I'm posting them as a memory for me to remember in the future...because it was also fun.
After a while we walked a little ways away to a more deserted area (and not near the gas station we live across the street from) to light the fireworks and sparklers.
It was fun.
Happy birthday America!
Sorry I left you to work somewhere else in the world, but I'll be back...

along with that 85% social life I've been missing, please.
Thanks.
Thanks.

You had more fun than we did. I slept for most part of the pm and then Mom and I were in bed listening to the fireworks at 8:45. Pretty boring. Oh well. Great post Craig. The food looks good. Congrats on your first graduating class.
