Fireworks, Music and Food

This past weekend was just the best.

I really planned to take more pictures and video, but I was just too busy enjoying myself to do so and that's why I make a terrible blogger.

Saturday after work we headed down to the Bathtub Weekend festivities, which basically we go just to people watch.
You're probably all "what is Bathtub Weekend?"
It's this festival my town has every year that lasts 4 days, there's concerts, lots of activities and vendors, fireworks and of course the Bathtub Race itself. 

Around dinner time we played this game called Fibbage, to sum it up it is a game of lying.  Tons of fun if you have more than two people playing!

After a few hours of that we headed down to the fireworks.  These fireworks are kind of special, just because it was our first real date together.
The trick to the fireworks is go early, bring coffee and/or a snack, and do laps around the park people watching, it's just the best.  Then settle into a spot about 30-40 mins before the fireworks start and continue people watching and playing the game 'Pokemon or Texting?'  It's a new game we play and it's just funny to think everyone is playing Pokemon.

Sunday!
Sunday was Rock the Shores day 3 in Colwood.
We didn't do Friday or Saturday as I had to work and didn't feel like taking the days off to see bands I was so-so on.

We arrived about an hour after the gates opened, which was kind of perfect because parking wasn't a nightmare and we got through the line super quick.  We then did a lap around to check out the food trucks and made sure we found the water fill up, then just took a seat and, you got it, people watched.

Playing Scrabble while we waited

First up was The Motorleague, and we just sat in the grass eating lunch and had a beer (me) while listening.  Next The Stand Stills played and same thing just chilled out.

After that was when the real fun started.  I've seen Yukon Blonde before and they put on a good show, so we decided to get into the crowd for a bit.  Even if you don't like a band, you just feed off the energy of everybody and have a great time.

It was time for a break, so we headed up to the water mister they had spraying and stood in front of that to cool off before July Talk went out, oh and refilled the beer.

 July Talk killed it.
Leah Fay is my new girl crush.

Between July Talk and Metric, Eagles of Death Metal and The Arkells played so we had a food break.
Poutine and mini donuts for dinner, yes please.
We ended up running into some friends right before The Arkells went on, so our two person group suddenly became six.

The sun was slowly beginning to set but it was still hot out and Metric was going to close this three day festival down.

We got home around eleven thirty and passed right out after the long and hot day.
Monday was a recuperating day.

Such a fun weekend, this is what Summer is all about.
I feel so refreshed and like myself again.
