We weren't really sure what we were going to do this 4th. I really wasn't looking forward to walking a whole lot. I did want to go and see the Tall ships which I miss every year. By the time the late morning/early afternoon rolled around we decided to head down to the Freedom Fair on Ruston Way with Taylor and Leanna.
We met up with Tracy and his son when we got down there. Tracy is one of Gary's friends from the gym and he is also an police officer for one of our local cities. We hung out at the beer garden for a while. Taylor nor I drank but the music was fun. Nyah was loving the dance floor. The beer garden was hosted by the Ram restaurant so we were lucky to spy a table later that evening that was empty outside and Gary sweetalked the host into letting us have it. We grabbed our table and ordered some dinner. It was great, we had to weight a long time for the food because they were jam packed but our food came out before the fireworks show and the the fireworks started. Other than the outdoor light from the deck over the water, we had an awesome view of the fireworks. Nyah was afraid of them and went from person to person for comfort. I didn't have batteries for my camera. I was going to buy some on the way down but totally spaced and then couldn't find any when we got there.
We went home after the show and I dug out some REALLY old sparklers that I had found in my scrapbook room while organizing. A few of them fizzled out but a couple put on a nice glow.
