The 4th of July

We had a fabulous 4th of July. The cubs were in the Wells Branch parade and sold ice cream at the booth. The Wells Branch MUD put on a pretty good day - lots of game booths, moon bounces, and a kiddie train.

Then we came home for a bit of a lie-down before heading out to see fireworks later that evening. We decided to take the bus from where I normally park my car and it turned out to be an ok decision. The bus ride down to Auditorium Shores was uneventful. On the way back, the bus was (naturally) packed and cute boys score seats faster than their moms do. Especially at 11pm.

I was an idiot and didn't wear socks with my patriotic shoes, and paid the penalty with a blister on each foot. This is after chastising the boys to wear sock and shoes. When will I learn?

It was a terrific show. I don't have good fireworks pictures, because our silly camera uses slow shutter when you turn off the flash. I don't like machines that try to out-smart me. Still, it gave some pretty interesting shots.
