Whaddya know ... I didn't think I'd find internet access here in Las Vegas (staying with a friend, etc.) ... but sure enough, I'm online.
Fourth of July in a place like Las Vegas is pretty neat. We didn't go to the Strip for the fireworks, as they did a wonderful (and LONG) show here in the development where my friend lives. What's neat about it is that because we're pretty much in the desert here, and there are no real trees, you can watch fireworks all around the sky, being shot off at all different locations, 360 degrees, for several hours. It was awesome. From where we were, on the deck of the clubhouse, we watched the fireworks over the Strip, the fireworks right in front of us, and fireworks all over the valley and from the mountain sides. Cool!
Another point that I'd like to make ... there are certain things in life that you simply MUST do with some young children around. A few days ago I took a friend of mine's 10-year-old son and his friend to see _Around the World in 80 Days_. Now, it is a super movie ... Jackie Chan is wonderful, the story is fun, the movie very well done. But, when you go to see that movie, please try to find a couple of 10-year-old boys to see it with because your experience will be heightened by their reactions to everything on the screen. Fun!!!
And ... when you see fireworks, it really helps to see it with children who are (1) not so young that they get scared, but (2) young enough that they still think that everything is NEW. Here in Las Vegas last night, my friend that I'm staying with, Jenny, had a friend of her's and her daughter over to watch with us. The daughter brought another friend ... the two girls being about 9-years-old. Again ... such fun!!!
Hope your Fourth was a blast!!
