Happy Fourth of July to all of you!!! Yesterday was the annual Ruskosky/Gray 4th of July celebration. As you can imagine when the 10 of us get together you know it will be a crazy time.
First of all, my brother Matt was in town. That is really nice because he is out of town until Octoberish. I haven't seen him in over a month so it was nice to see him. It is crazy how you miss someone more when they are thousands of miles away even though you may not have seen them in that time anyway. Needless to say it was really nice having him around!
We had a wonderful meal....Thanks Mom! Everything was delicious as usual!!! Jerry deep fried a turkey, it was moist and delicious! Kelly made an AWESOME dessert!! It was a mud slide....Not the alcoholic kind, one with pudding and cool whip...yum!!!!! Of course I didn't think that my pasta salad was half bad either.
The day wouldn't have been complete without alcohol, motor vehicles and of course fireworks!!! My brother Andy is the proud owner of a new 4 wheeler. It is pretty nice....you have to kick start it ...and the seat is tore up. It runs and that is all that matters. Andy on that is reminiscent of when he first bought his dirt bike because he does funny things like riding it to the shed across the yard rather than walking over there. He tears up and down the road like an animal with this shit eating grin on his face....if you have seen it, you know what I am talking about!! Of course all the guys had to take turns riding it up and down the road. I think Matt was the funniest though because he rode it around like he was a little kid!
It was a good thing that everyone was prepared with LOUD fireworks to keep them busy in the afternoon or who knows what would have happened.... The afternoon was filled with bottle rockets and firecrackers. Needless to say I am probably more hard of hearing today than I was yesterday. It was a contest to see who could light off as many as possible at the same time. My stepdad even participated by putting some firecrackers under popcans to see how high it would fly into the air!!! Everyone is younger on days like today. Everytime Betsy lit a bottle rocket she would run away and giggle after it went off.
We all had our fair share to drink....Some more than their share...Josh;) I am surprised he made it home without me having to pull over. Well, we stopped once so he could pee... Matt introduced us to Absolute Peach and Cranberry juice. It is good stuff. Betsy, Kelly and I had those. Mom had her wine coolers and the rest of the guys the beer. Danny kept begging Josh for beer....damn kids!!! Matt I think ended up the most inebriated. As he fell over backwards and broke a lawn chair and wrestled both boys like a teenager. Andy and Danny fell through mom's bush (that she has kept watered through our dry spell) causing yelling to ensue. Andy trying to choke Danny and all that fun stuff.
The best part of the night had to have been the fireworks show put on by Josh and Danny. Josh maintained all of the largre fireworks and Danny entertained us with fountains, smoke bombs and strobe flashers. Josh did a wonderful job and kept us entertained for about an house. A wonderful time was had by all....
