HOLIDAY SPECIAL: 4th of July! Well, this dayinthelife documents the most patriotic of the patriot holidays.
The fourth of july! A day filled with fireworks, friends.. and of course a big 'ol bucket of chicken


..and thats exactly where we'll start, the new fourth tradition. The Bucket O' Chicken!


There's something about the combination of Sam.. and a cup'a'soda that just makes a picture.. well, yellow.


Dustin on the phone with a mysterious third person..


The mysterious third person. Guess who it is before you scroll down.. and, you win a prize.


If you guessed Adam you win.. A BRAND NEW PICTURE OF SAM, DUSTIN, AND ADAM!


..and if you didn't guess Adam. You're stupid, and I pity you, therefor I give you this picture for free.


Wow, I just rambled about half of this ditl away. Anyway, on to the rand park firework action!


Every fourth of July, the small town of Keokuk, Iowa gets invaded by aliens. It's true. Something about cows.. or corn.


Dustin, Sam and Adam watching the fireworks. I like Adam's can pocket.


ooooh, ahhh..


I don't exactly know what this face is supposed to mean. But, this is the start of the firework pictures!


ANOTHER ROUND OF GUESS THE PERSON!


If you guess'd Dustin you win.. NOTHING cuz, I never promised prizes! HA!


WHO WANTS SOME ROCK!? CUZ SAM IS BRINGIN' IT YOUR WAY WETHER YOU LIKE IT NOT!


*Cue pictures with glow stick starting... now*


Strange thing about Glow Stick Slime.. when mixed with Adam's mouth.. it makes hospital visits!


I've already introduced this guy.. but, since his last picture sucked.. IT'S LUKE! God, he looks happy.


Hmmm.. Maybe we shouldn't've eaten that chicken.


yeah.. If you get glow in the dark Chicken next time you go to KFC .. just pass...


Cuz this'll happen! AHHH!! (One of my favorite pictures ever!)


Yet another fourth of July ritual we started last year was to get sparklers at Hy-Vee. You remember.. the Mallows.


Flashback: In case you forgot! LAST YEAR'S AMAZING 4TH!


Sadly, Hy-Vee didn't carry sparklers this year. So, we got some at County Market. Eh, we do what we can.


This is one of our county market fireworks! (the only thing it really caused was the streamers.. what can ya' do.)


Adam and the gigantic sparkler. Sounds like a good sitcom to me.. or maybe a Tim Burton movie.


Sam didn't really know what was going on most of the night.


One of OUR fireworks. TAKE THAT IOWAN ANTI-FUN(Firework) Laws!


Adam and his amazing SPARKLER GLASSES!


Adam looking like a villian from Batman. (Whoa, too much Batman lately.. I'm sorry)


Dustin on the way to Mousorri. (Damned Keokuk ANTI-FUN police)


I'm sorry for posting this, Sam.


FIREWORK ACTION CONTINUES! (But this time in an random field!)


Thats right, fireworks are legal in Mousorri! Whatcha' gunna' do, coppas?!


Close up BOTTLE ROCKET SHOT!


Oooooh, ahhh.. sparkly even! Here, you can ooh and ahh with me if you like.. It'll make this ditl.. interactive or something.


Adam probably lighting something dangerous, somewhere he shouldn't.


Look at the look of joy on Sam's face. Fireworks'll do that to a man.


..and whats a fourth of July without an finale!?


Our finale.. aka, everything left in the bag.


EXPLOSION!

Wow, maybe the dynamite was overkill.

RIP Dustin Neill, Rex Hicks, Adam Cook and Sam Hays. You will be missed. Kinda'.
