Blisters, Golf, and Fireworks

Our 4th of July celebrations can be summed up in the title of this post: blisters, golf, and fireworks. Tuesday night Taylor was running to catch a bus and decided to take his flip-flops off and run on the hot (it was over 100 that day) concrete. Well, about 1 minute later he notice his feet were REALLY hot and sore. Once we got home, this is what we found.

He had big blisters and his feet were sooooo red! I felt really bad for him. I would have never thought he could get blisters that quickly. We had plans to play golf on the 4th and that night we weren't sure if we would be able to. Taylor ended up soaking his feet, draining the blisters (sorry, that's probably TMI), and standing on ice all evening. When we woke up on Wednesday he said that his feet were ok and he wanted to go try and play (nothing keeps this guy from golf)! We ended up walking the course and looking back that was kind of silly of us. Taylor said his feet were feeling ok and since the course was packed we were able to rest between every hole. That may have been the longest round I've played. We started around 8:40 and finished at 2:00, and it was over 100 degrees! I told Taylor that I love playing golf but I was very happy when that round was over :)

After golf we went and got slushes at Sonic and went to Sams/Walmart to pick up some stuff for dinner that night. We had Andrew, Can, and Can's girlfriend over for burgers, apple pie, and lots of watermelon.

It was fun and we ended up playing horseshoes before going to watch the CU fireworks show. Most of the towns around us had cancelled their shows because of the dryness and heat, so everyone came out to watch the CU show. It was packed all throughout town! After the show we headed back home and fell right to sleep. I kept thinking it was Saturday all day, which was not fun when my alarm went off Thursday morning. I don't think I like having holidays in the middle of the week! Hope you had a great 4th of July :)
