When 'the bucket' falls
Pool Princess
After the water park (and a nap), we went with the Lowry's to their pool. I guess we felt like we weren't 'pruned' up enough yet. That was fun and relaxing (I forgot my camera so no pics of that) then afterward we got cleaned up and went over to their house for a BBQ. It was scrumptious and I stuffed myself as usual. Next, we heard there was a 4th event going on at the Town Center, so we rushed over to check that out for a bit. There was a band playing, free kid games - the lines were horrendous- and a bounce house. Of course, it was packed with people, but we managed to find our way around. We planned to watch the fireworks on the hill by where the Lowry's live, so we took off at about 8:30 to get back and get our spot for the show. Kalli was SO excited to see the fireworks; all day she kept asking when we get to see them. We set up 'camp', on the road, and waited impatiently for the show to begin...

About 1/2 way through the fireworks, we could see on the other hill, not to far from us, a fire that had started. We couldn't see the flames, but the orange glow was bright and getting bigger. As a result, the fireworks were stopped and we waited and waited for them to begin again. No such luck, so we finally gave up and went home. Poor Kalli was jipped this year, at least she got to see some, right? After Kalli had been in bed for about 10 minutes, the firework show began again. Nate grabbed a groggy Kalli and we finished watching the fireworks in front of our house. It was not ideal, but at least we got to see the finale! Happy Fourth of July, we are lucky to live in such a great place!
