Fourth Fun

We had a great 4th. We made a trip to the zoo and enjoyed the lack of other people there. I brought the camera, but left the SD card in my computer. I blamed it on Matt, of course. We rode the train, fed the Lorikeets, and watched the Sloth move. In all of our years going to the zoo, we have never seen the Sloth move. Maybe he was feeling a little rowdy due to the holiday…

Late in the afternoon we went to my Mom's house for some traditional Fourth of July fun. We lit sparklers, snakes, and threw those little things that pop when they hit the ground.

At dusk we walked to the fireworks. Every year I am amazed at the amount of people that flock to these fireworks. I am grateful we can walk and avoid the insane traffic. This year we sat close…. so close that we could smell the gun powder and pieces of the firework casings were falling on us.

My favorite thing about fireworks…..  you can fart and no one can hear you.
