Well it's not the 4th anymore! So Happy 5th of July, hope everyone had a great 4th. We spent the day BBQ-ing steak, ears of corn and baked potatoes. The steak was a London broil, which we found out is just a tough cut of meat, so even after just searing both sides and about 5 minutes on the grill the meat was still tough. It was still good just chewy!
We took our yearly 4th trip to Coronado and watched the fireworks(Connor's first). We got there about an hour early and it's a good thing we did! The island was packed, the firework show usually draws a crowd of around 750,000 people, there not all on Coronado but almost all the Military goes there to see the show. After we parked Oddy, Nick jumped out and said I want to play with kids. There were a group of 4 girls(about 13-14 years old) talking and laughing near us. Nick just ran over to them and started jabbering away, about fireworks, boats, flashing lights, watermelons and what ever else came to his mind. When the show started, Nick ran into the van and said I'm scared. He sat in the passenger seat and watched the show out of the window. He was so exicited that he was screaming but so scared that he wouldn't watch the show with us. Connor thought the show was great he would point and scream as they were going off.
With the show over the traffic was horrible, we literally sat in traffic for over an hour. We got tired of just sitting there and took a drive around the base, then parked near the McDonalds and waited for the traffic to die down. I think we finally made it off the island 2 hours after the show.
A great 4th of July for us hope all of your's was just as fun.
