This 4th of July was the first time in years that I've done anything to celebrate the holiday. Most times I've just stayed home and watched fireworks from a far with my pet or not watched them at all. The day started out going to Fallon and watching their parade. It was fun watching the parade through children's eyes and watching all the teens who were in the parade. They were there to participate over the weekend in a rodeo in Fallon. There were teens there from Arizona, Wyoming, Utah, Idahoma, Montana and Canada.
After the parade, we headed to my house. We fed the kids lunch and took them to the park nearby to play some free games they were offering. Afterwards, the kids turned in the tickets they'd won to get prizes. They played Wii and watched movies while their mom grilled a tri-tip and cooked corn on the cob. We moved out front while the kids played and once dark watched the fireworks. The fireworks were shot off at the park a couple blocks away so we had an awesome view. Maybe this is a sign of me starting to have a life.
