4th of July

Wow!! This 4th was insane!! I woke up at 6 am to go set out flags with the Golden Kiwanis Club of Lubbock. Then I went to the 4th of Broadway parade. I wore the wrong shoes so I got blisters on the bottom of my feet. Well, then I danced at 12:30 (only 2 dances) and again at 2:45(this was 5 dances plus a ceili dance). I was pretty exhausted from the heat but also from hunger because I had not eaten anything for 9 hours! So, we get home, I shower, my father makes me eat something; I didn't really have much of an appetite. I try to take a nap, which successfully fails due to the ruccus caused by my younger siblings. Then, we are getting ready to go to my uncle's house for fireworks, and I realize that my throat hurts very much. My father takes a look, sees white spots, so we assume that I am getting strep-throat. Wonderful! I'm leaving tomorrow to a foreign country and I have strep-throat! All I can say is...Oh Well!! Although I'm not feeling to great, I am happy!! I'm so excited!! Last night's show was so awesome!! Plus Benjamin and Eli were able to light up some sparklers, which became a big hit among the youngsters! Independence day was magnificent!! I wouldn't have changed anything!!

Sincerely,
Esther
