4th of July

Every year my mom and dad go to the San Diego County Fair at least three times. They love it! So this year we joined them on the most crowded day of summer, the fourth of July! There was an endless sea of people everywhere, it was insane! But we didn't let the crowds get to us. We went all in; participating every fair filled activity you can think of.. eating fried foods, riding carnival rides, listening to loud music and petting lots of smelly livestock! Oh and don't forget the monster trucks. It just doesn't get more American than that! We had a blast. At the end of the night we made our way over to the far side of the park in hopes to find a good spot to watch the fireworks.. After breaking quite a few rules and passing a few "employee only" signs we found the most amazing spot. We laid directly beneath the fireworks and even had pieces of them falling on us! The boom of the first one that was shot off was so loud that we all jumped! Our family is pretty obsessed with fireworks so this night was life changing for us.We 'oooohhhhed' and 'ahhhhhhhed' the entire time as we watched the beauties explode over the lake just a few feet in front of us! It was amazing. After the show was over we heard chirping from all these tiny baby birds that got separated from their mamas during the firework show. Of course, I freaked out with excitement and started running around catching them all, trying to reunite the little bird village. Half way into my bird  mission, this old man cop came and tore into to us telling is to "GET UP" "I MEAN IT" "GET OUT OF HERE!" So we scurried away from the no trespassing zone and left our bird friends behind. It was certainly a fourth of July we won't forget!! Hah!!
