4th of July

A view of the reservation across the bay. I think we'll watch from there next year. It was blowing up!

For the 4th we went to a park that looks over the bay in Everett. We thought we'd have a great view but it turns out that we were pretty far away, oh well. And it was super cold for July. Luke didn't seem to notice. He just wanted to run and meet everyone's dog that was at the park.

It was a pretty view of the sunset.

For the moment I had bribed Luke with popcorn to stay on the blanket.

That's as big as they got. To the left and the right you can see the two drunk guys that sat down in front of us (still drinking of coarse) and proceeded to loudly describe that previous nights conquests in graphic detail. Again, Luke didn't seem to notice but it was pretty irritating to us.

This is a picture of firework mortars. They are legal on the reservations and in unincorporated parts of the county. But that doesn't really stop people from letting them off in town. We bought a box. They are AWESOME! Luke loved them. He got very excited shouting "Fireworks!" and using hand gestures to help get his point across. After lighting one off that blew over the neighbors house we decided to hold off on the rest.
