Once again it was very busy (yet fun) 4th of July..Started at PaPa's house (Shane's grandfather) for the annual parade and some goooooooddd lunch...We were joined again this year by Dean and Dottie (Shane's great-uncle and aunt)..it ended kinda scaryily though...Dean was walking his dog Duffy outside and took the kids out in the yard to play and Austin found a hornet nest in the ground...Yup he got it...the screech that boy let loose was enough to make me fly off the porch and run (or fly) to him...As we were running inside I noticed he still had stingers in him, so I started pulling them out..NOT knowing that hornets don't loose their stingers unless they are yanked out..so that means he got a few of those suckers too... (lol)..while sitting in the kitchen trying to figure out exactly what got him, I notice something in his hand..YUP it was a hornet..he managed to hold onto one...I slapped it out and it went for Shane's face (mean little suckers)..MeeMaw managed to make a miracle paste (at least I thought so) that eased the sting and drew out the poison..Baking soda and water..didn't know about it, boy did it work !!! By that afternoon all swelling was gone and all he had was some holes...All in all he got stung 6 times on his legs between shoes and shorts and they left HOLES in him, but he didn't notice after about 20 minutes and he was ready to go BACK OUTSIDE..NOPE..Momma squashed that one !!! lol...
We went home for naps and then onto our 4th of July firework watching at Galveston..Grandpa was finally able to join us for the first time this year since he is retired...We stopped at Rainforest Cafe for dinner, got in a little fender bender, headed to sea wall and noticed that it was already closed to traffic..why? they were having a parade !!! It was awesome !!! So we got a parade and then the fireworks...it was a long drive, but a beautiful night and NO WAY would I trade it for a bug infested, packed firework display downtown....
