More July Four Please!

Fitz has often been described as an island unto himself...well here's proof.

July 4 2009!!

OK, we'll just go ahead and get this one outta the way right off the bat. (you're welcome Fitz)

Another winner

Nothin but blue sky for Vita and Ash!

Fruit!

Fitzie and the A-Train...its like a Coppertone ad.

Good Girl

OK, if we can keep her that calm she can come on the boat. (Vita is behaving well also!)

Awwww....

BadMark's favorite bartender at the Corral, Melissa. (she's been in love with BadMark for years!)

Joy and The Sailor

Joy...because she looks like Joy from My Name is Earl...and The Sailor...because he was in the Navy. Everyone gets a nickname. No more questions.

Ash & The Sailor

Ash is killin' Long Island Teas with The Sailor on a Wednesday night...maybe we should head down to Cross.

Sit tight Lee

Just hang on to the boat Lee...we should be departing in about three hours. (I just have to run up to the cabin and grab somethin')

Let's go!

Let's move it out...Chrsity and Grandma Fitz are ready to roll!

Doesn't matter

It doesn't matter who's pontoon it is...BadMark is at the wheel with his trusty Skipper A-train. (BadMark drivin on Cross Lake on the Fourth...seemed like a good idea at the time)

Good day!

Absolutely flawless weather on the Fourth...thank you! p.s. Nice hat Fitzie...what time is bridge with the other ladies?

Got Vodka?

Hey Fitzie...so they're sellin' Vodka in plastic two-liters now? Ahhhh...Cross Lake.

Rush Lake on the Fourth

The sand bar on Rush Lake, July 4, BadMark and his crew know better than to wander into that madness...we hate young girls in bikinis, dancing in the water, drinking wine coolers, kissing each other...and...ok, I need a minute here.

And this is only half the party!

...and

...and there's the other half.

Wild guess?

Hmmmm...just a wild guess here, but maybe we should head in and get Dougie some dinner.

Good base

Ed and Tommy always make sure we have a good base for the evening..this year's base is 12 racks of Senser's ribs...nice! (sweet shirt Ed)

Dan and Michelle - Pre-Wharf

(notice how she still likes him) Thats how you can tell we haven't been to the Whaf yet. Wait until she gets a look at some d-bag with a yellow Donzi...see ya' Danno!

A-train and BadMark

Pre-Wharf ...she likes BadMark no matter what!

Wharf stop?

Looks like Vita is ready for a Wharf run!

Tippy cup at The Wharf on Cross Lake!

It wouldn't be the Fourth without a spirited bout of Tippy Cup on the deck of the Wharf (p.s. BadMark was blasting MJ on the ipod the entire time, turning the deck of the Wharf into a makeshift Cross Lake MJ Memorial...the Staples Center gots nothin' on us baby!)

Dan, A-Train and Tommy

A nice post-tippy cup pic. (basking in their ill-gotten victories!)

Finally!

Hawaiian night at The Wharf on Cross Lake...we finally have a chance to look like idiots in this place.

OK Campers...

...pack it up and we're outta here!

Yes!

Ah Lee, I see we have appropriated some of the Wharf's property....good! Paybock for the f****rs stealing my dice three years ago! (I know they still have 'em)
