The 4th of July Inside!

It has been SO miserably hot lately that we decided our best bet was to celebrate the 4th of July indoors. Activate was doing a special if you wear red, white, or blue, and I had already purchased a gift card at a discount, so we made what is usually a super expensive event quite reasonable.  PLUS, there was no one there, so we didn't have to wait at any station and could do our favorite laser room over and over again.  We played it so much that we all came home with damaged knees. LOL

Toy Story was a bit more crowded, but we did find a matinee seating so we could finally watch the movie using Dave's blood donor tickets.  It was such a cute movie!  We had planned to go to Macado's in Concord (Savannah's favorite restaurant but we opted not to go to Boone) BUT realized at the last minute it was no longer in the mall and had been permanently closed.  So we had to choose another favorite, that was unfortunately, equally as far away. We ended up getting take out from Red Robin.

We ended the night watching fireworks at our usual favorite place, Food Lion.  Crazy enough, they had a little mishap and the fireworks started shooting towards the crowd!!! It was absolutely terrifying!  We were getting eaten alive by bugs, and were still startled from the mishap, so we left before it was over.  All in all, it was a fun, super low key, day celebrating our country's freedom!
