Cynthia called shortly after I wrote the above, asking if we'd like to join the fish fry. Lindsey and I arrived before my family, at around 4:20. Alexis was sleeping. Lindsey wanted to see "Apollo 13", so I put it in. James changed it later, though, to "I, Robot". It played through the meal. Lindsey ate two fish and some fries and hushpuppies. I had a few tastes of hers, but didn't fix a plate for myself. After the food, I took her around James' property and told her of memories. Before we left I found out that they were coming over tonight.

Justin, Cynthia, and Alexis showed up at 9:15. We took the white bucket that housed the fish earlier to the middle of our yard. Justin just had a pack of various "fireworks" he bought at Wal-Mart. It was fun, though. I tried to set off a few of my old rockets—they're about 10 years old. One went into the air fine, but I stuck the screamer too hard into the ground and it just whistled and popped on the ground. Apparently, it was hilarious.

It began to rain and we grabbed everything as we ran for the house. Justin let me have what was left.
