The 4th, 2007, part 1

This is the Fireworks they had for us as we got there to Louisiana, nah the church our friends go to is next to an airport, & they had fireworks on the 3rd. Ok here is how it started, we told our friends we would leave after I would get out of work, which would be about 5 PM. We would start driving at 5pm & get there about 2 AM. We have done this in the past a couple of times, driving like this. I had a doctors appointment that day which I thought was at 4 pm, but it was at 10 AM. I asked some coworker if he would cover for me if I left the rest of the the day, & he said okay. This was going to be so cool, we left about 1:15 pm. Mind you we never told our friends we would leave early we wanted to surprise them. When we took off I turned off my phone so no one would call me, then our friend calls on my old phone which my son Mike is carrying with him. So guess what our friend call that phone & Mike answers so he tells him we left about 12, so I start giving him the evil look, & he hangs up the phone. Our friends start calling, & asking & we tell them we left about 12 till 5, (bunch of liars, hehe). Then I tell Mike its ok we covered it back up. When we get there, they were at the church watching the fireworks when we drive up. We park on the side of them with our light facing them, & they don't move. So then my wife starts flashing the lights, & that get there attention, but they are just looking, when I stick my head out the window & yell, "Hey". Then they recognize us & start running towards us, it was pretty cool.
