Weekend of the 4th

I hope that every had a very safe and happy holiday weekend. Every year my family has a family reunion out at my granfather's farm. They have been doing so for the past 8-10 years and it is a really nice get together with great food, great family and my uncle chuck puts on a very nice fireworks display.

This was the first time I had been to the reunion in about 6 years, and it was great seeing all of my family again. This year I brought Lace, my gf, and she really enjoyed herself, and getting to meet all of my family was a different experience for her, since her family had basically either abused or rejected her when she was growing up so im glad she enjoyed herself.

We added a new member to mine and Lace's family yesterday as well, my parents and grandparents live way out in the country of southern Illinois and on our way out there we found a turtle that was making its way across the road and I was asked to stop and pick it up. So now we have a box turtle as a pet

I hope the rest of you enjoyed your holiday (feel free to tell me what you did), and when the gf wakes up ill grab the camera from her and post some pics of the turtle and some from my family's farm.
