4th of July Weekend Timeline
Sunday Evening, July 3rd: My buddies Kaity and Mac come over for hamburgers, cupcakes, homemade ice cream and cherry limeades. We run around like lunatics and yell "Kachow!" Parental intervention crashed the party only when we started hiding in my closet and slamming the closet door. Oh...and, Kaity decided to humor me by rocking my chair really hard against the wall. It was hilarious, and I nearly died laughing. (until parents walked in) Overall, SCORE! Great evening! Mac played cars with me and showed me how to drive my fire engine -- the right way.
Monday Evening, July 4th: Base festivities -- talk about a primo Independence Day celebration.
1. Visit firet ruck and Sparky, the fire-dog, sit in fire truck
2. See F-16 display with Dad as my guide....beat that! You only wish....
3. Bouncy castle time! Yeah, buddy. Play with all my pals on the huge bouncy castles!
4. Eat a hotdog.
5. Go with Dad back to the fire engine. Wait for Mom to get us a funnel cake in the line that stretches all the way to Timbuktu.
6. Go with Dad to bouncy castle...again.
7. Indulge in my first funnel cake ever!
8. With stomach bulging, jump around in bouncy castle...impress Mom by keeping the funnel cake and hotdog down.
9. Go with Mom and Dad back to fire truck. Give hugs to Sparky. Sit in fire truck. Insist on closing the door to fire truck. Afterwards, check out shiny black tires on fire truck....make sure they're real by smelling each one of them. Run by Sparky again and say "Hi." Don't give me a hard time about sniffing the tires on the fire truck. G-Dad, I bet you'd do the same thing on a Corvette sitting in a showroom....let that baby pass the sniff test.
10. Go back to bouncy castle. Realize that bouncing around in the dark with lots of kids is not really the wisest thing for a smaller than average dude. Get out.
11. Watch a huge fireworks show for the first time in my life. Amazing! I'm hooked.
12. Apparently, the fireworks started a fire somewhere, and on our walk back home, I actually got to see the fire truck in action. Beat that! They drove right by me on the street, sirens blaring, lights flashing! It was, as Uncle W, puts it....MONEY!
