4th Fun

Yesterday was a terrific 4th of July! A terrific and very eventful day.

The day started off very lazy and didn't look promising until we met up with my brother, inflatable boat in hand. Bryan and Brian went to work blowing up the boat and soon we were off, with me trailing in the water to join the large floatilla party happening in the middle of the ocean off Waikiki. It's hard to explain with words but think of a floating frat party where the average age is easily 32. There was beer, silliness and more beer.

After paddling back to shore, we grilled some dogs and watched the fireworks - both from the city and all the crazies around us. Fireworks are legal here. It's a weird thing.

Pretty much an ideal way to celebrate the 4th in Hawaii.

A day like that doesn't come without consequences. Brian's and my cell phones might be ruined due to sea water damage - totally my fault. Our clothes ended up in the trash truck (I promise you, we were not THAT drunk). And Bryan and I spent an hour trying to get our car alarm to stop and our car to start - my fault again, the beeper thing got wet, but it eventually worked so there is hope for my phone right?

Pictures were captured on a disposable camera that also took a long swim in the ocean. If the pics turn out I'll post them later.

Hope you all had a wonderful 4th!
