Jackson and I had a very nice 4th of July. "Didn't Matt have a nice 4th of July?", you ask. Well, Matt celebrated our country's independence by helping his brother, Dave, move from Turlock to Valley Springs, and Jackson and I weren't invited. Darn. :-)
So Jackson and I spent the afternoon with my friend, Joy, and her family at her aunt and uncle's house. We had a nice, relaxing time playing in the pool and bbqing. Then Jackson and I headed to Community Park, here in Davis, to picnic and watch the fireworks with the Mollos. Joy and her family found us there and were able to sit right next to us for the firework show.
We were all wondering if the firework show would be shorter or less exciting because of the bad economy, but it seemed to be more amazing than ever. We sat close enough to the fireworks that I was able to wrap up in a blanket and lay on the ground to watch them. Some of them seemed to explode right over our heads! Beautiful!
I was excited for Jackson to see his first firework display. I just knew he would be fascinated by the colors and sounds. Well, Jackson fell asleep about ten minutes before the fireworks started, and he slept through the whole show. I thought for sure he would wake up once the fireworks started exploding, but he never stirred until we were on our way back to the car. Oh well, there's always next year.
