Wednesday, July 2rd:
We went out to dinner at Steak n Shake because we had plans to go out and I didn't really feel like cooking. So we spent a dinner chatting about things then headed over to Adventure Landing for some time in the batting cages. It is summer after-all and baseball has become a semi regular staple in our lives. He nailed some balls this time around, I was not so lucky :). But after that we went to cookout to get him his first cookout milkshake.

Ended up being a fairly quite afternoon, Brandon ordered his new AR which was very exciting :), super happy with his choice. Later on we spent some time on the pool tables in Bro-Central. The tables were somewhat full this time with Bro-tastic guys that thought they were awesome. Obviously they were not :P. But we played a few games, both made some good shots but he still beat me. One day..!
Friday, July 4th:
The big show! The day was spent slow smoking ribs, baseball and fireworks. Because 'Murica! Have to love the home team and all but the Crawdad's just can't win. They had a good come back and even a broken bat but still lost the game. In true American fashion we dined on hot dogs and nachos and rooted for the home team. The game was follow by a pretty good fireworks show,
Saturday, July 5th:
As much as I love baseball, Saturday was by far my favorite day this weekend and our busiest one. The day started by us attempting to make homemade tomato sauce for spaghetti, and I do mean attempting. I'm going to say not something we will try without a little more research, it was okay but nothing close to great. That was followed by heading to Southern Charm Winery for a wine tasting. Not something we have done in a while and found one that was close so it was worth a little trip. We tasted 6 sweet wines and really enjoyed 4/6 which is unusual. We bought a bottle and we were able to keep the glasses, a nice little memento from the trip. After that we went and saw How To Train Your Dragon 2, oh-my-god. Adorable doesn't even begin to describe that movie. We went to a local mom and pop theater in town called State Cinema, great prices decent quality theater and the fact that it locally owned all added to the experience. That evening we went out to Brown Mountain to try to see the Brown Mountain Lights, no lights were seen. We turned the bed of his truck into a mini bed with cuddled under the stars for a few hours, a great way to end the day.
Sunday, July 6th:
Our non-lazy Sunday was spend doing some running around, a lot of cooking and going with Dad to buy his new gun. We made Brandon's lunches for the week which proved to be quite a task this time around but it is well worth it. We watched the first how to train your dragon and 21 and over while we were cooking so that helped. Cooking and running around was finished off by shaving the dog since his furry butt is too hot for this summer we are having. Not a lot of chances to be lazy this time!
