Oh hi.
So Thursday was America's Independence Day. And I'm an American. Yup.
The first part of the day was spent watching a Victorious marathon. Then we went to the store and bought chips and soda and we watched the last hour of the Elizabeth Smart story. After that I went to Kate's house feeling very patriotic.
We went to the Farmer's Market, then we went to a memorial for a boy that, sadly, got killed at the Farmer's Market two weeks before. After listening to people honor him in Spanish (which means I understood nothing) we heard fireworks lighting off down the street so we ran to the yard and stood on a pile of tires.
At this point we're staring down the street off into the distance with a fence right behind us. And everything is really quiet. And then right behind us, in the next yard, a firework lit off and terrified us.
We reacted appropriately.
Like we maybe fell off the tire.
The next thing we did (and the best thing we did) was drive down the freeway and watch fireworks light off EVERYWHERE. The pictures were taken in a system of "rapid clicking" where I just take pictures without stopping, watch the fireworks, and hope I get some good ones.
God bless America.
