Happy 4th!!!

Well, most of July 4th was spent at work- but we did have a good time. We kicked of the festivities with a picnic in the classroom (a new favorite ritual). Tom ran and grabbed some fried chicken with all the trimmings from KFC and we pushed some desks together to form a great big table. We opted out of eating outside, because it was a little warm (only 120) and we wanted to enjoy our meal without sand as one of our condiments.

Yup... it was just a little warm! Notice- the thermometer only reads up to 120...

believe me; it is much hotter than that!

After lunch, we headed down to check out the "free camel rides," that really turned out to be a "free camel sit!" I guess Joe Camel wasn't feeling like hauling people around, but he posed nicely for a few camera shots!

He was trying to kiss me- or eat my ID!!!

Tom was giving out some lovin'...
