July 4th

We took a week off from cleaning the house and getting things ready for the move to go and stay with John for the week.  Since the 4th of July was in the middle of the week he didn't have any extra time to come home and its no fun to be alone on a Holiday.
 We found a zoo in the area and decided to spent the day walking around with the animals before we headed off to fireworks. The first one we found were brown bears and there were 2 of them so we decided they were brother bears and they loved to walk back and forth next to the fence it was fun to see them close up like that.
Of course Aaron couldn't wait to find the monkeys and to his surprise they had 3 different kinds  of monkeys and he loved every since one of them, for sure that was his favorite part.
 It wasn't a very big zoo and the animals that took up the most space were the many deer in a couple different areas but they were fun to see and they kids even got to feed them a little.  It was a fun day and we saw lots of animals but we were hot and hungry so we went back to the hotel to get ready for the fireworks.
 John talked to some of the people at work and found out were the best fireworks were and that's where we ended up for the evening. We got there a little early so put our chairs out to claim our spot then we headed off to the field to play some soccer to pass the time.
 Once it got a little dark we got out our glow stick.
 There was a stage with bands playing lots of different songs so Katie had a good time getting into the music and dancing her heart out.
It was a great day and the fireworks were definitely one of the best I have ever seen.  
  Happy 4th of July!!!!!
