My favorite 4th of July
I have a confession to make. My favorite 4th of July is Karen’s fault. You see, I love babies. And when Karen told me she was going to have Alligator, I was so excited. I love babies! So when Alligator was born on the 4th of July, I was totally stoked! But when I found out where her hospital room was …
I was even more excited. See… her room had a perfect view of the city’s fireworks display. So not only could we see the fireworks that year, we got a great seat! Well, that was until the smoke started obscuring the view. I love to watch fireworks but I hate going since the smoke usually gets too thick. There is nothing better than a great view of fireworks for free.
So this year, we are going to hopefully see the fireworks from down the mountain at our local park. Last year they started a new tradition in town and our church helps with parking. There will be games and inflatables and food and at 9:40, FIREWORKS. Now that is a thrifty and free 4th of July activity.
But I will forever remember a beautiful little firecracker arriving into the world who not only gave my best friend a smile but gave me a great view of my favorite fireworks. Thanks, Alligator and Happy Birthday.


















Awww! That’s so sweet. That was a memorable day and it was the best view.
