Happy 4th of July! Today we celebrate the 238th birthday of the United States of America. To celebrate, we have completely bought into Michigan's new firework laws by purchasing dozens of real, giant fireworks! Oh boy am I excited!!! Fireworks are one of the many things that turn me into a giddy four year-old girl who has had waaayy too much candy. It will be great!

Before fireworks we will have a camp-wide cookout followed by a camp fire with singing and s'mores. Then, comes the firework display that the hubs has headed up. Hehe, I think he saw a new side of me yesterday when we went to purchase said fireworks. Usually when shopping I am the voice of reason; yesterday I was ready to buy all the biggest fireworks with an excitement that is usually reserved for Disney or Maru. We (and by "we" I mean "he") then made a "no picking products up until we are sure we want them" rule and I no longer looked like a crazy lady on a mission to explode her own home. It is also wise to say I will be standing far away from the production when fuses get lit and things go boom.

For this special Friday I thought that a special workout was in order. Of course, today we will be resting from in the squat challenge that I am so excited to be doing with you! If you are still hoping to get a workout, try this interval workout that also celebrates the birth year of this country.
