What I Did On My Summer Vacation (aka, last weekend).

Saw a fireworks display
Twice.
Played Croquet
Played Bocce
Flew kites
Got said kites stuck in trees
Had marshmallows over a bonfire
Enjoyed my dad's BBQ'd hamburgers & hot dogs
Fed goats/llamas/bunnies (not hamburgers & hot dogs though)

And probably other things I don't remember off the top of my head, but likely enjoyed at the time, except a couple weird dreams I had, but that's another story. 

The weekend gave my dog a hangover.  This morning he had bad diarrhea, threw up, wasn't eating, wasn't drinking, wasn't playing, and generally was pretty lethargic.  I was kinda freaking out, and called in to work so I could go a couple hours late to let me keep an eye on him until I saw some improvement.  Thankfully I did, and by the time I got home from work at night, he was his hungry, hyper self again.  I bought him some better quality food, and an over the counter diarrhea remedy (among other things... I did a little 'retail therapy' for the dog, and bought him a new toy and collar, which of course helped *ahem*).  I'm so glad he's better.  It was scary.  Seriously.  :\  I think Spencer just ate too many sticks and leaves and grass (and was given a few bbq-table scraps) which upset his stomach.  At least he had fun at the time.  He's a lightweight.  :P

Anyways, it was a great weekend otherwise, and I really don't have much else to talk about without blah blah blahing about everything and taking away from the 'fun'ness of this post.  I don't have all the photos from the weekend ready for upload, but a selection is below.   Mostly of kites and fireworks... heh
