Happy Birthday USA! Well it's gone for another year and I imagine most of us over ate, got sunburned and tried to blow the sky to pieces. That's kinda what we did. We hung out at Paradise Point for most of the day and then drove into Dug's house in the evening. It sure is hard work waiting for the sun to go down so Dad can blow up his paycheck. Becky and I picked up a Red Jeep from a Geocache and to enter a contest we have to submit a picture of the jeep and something pertaining to American Heritage.............whatever that is. Trace was our model and we took a bunch of pictures of him with the red jeep, fireworks, sitting on a motorcycle, sitting on his Mom's 4 wheeler and everything else we could think of. Posting a few of them. Nightfall finally arrived and Dad shot off his fireworks with neighbors on both sides of the street joining in. The Fourth of July Fireworks Display at Fort Vancouver started at 2200. It has been billed as the "largest display West of the Mississippi".........which is probably no longer true. I do remember when the display lasted well over an hour in the past but it has gone downhill since then and last night's display lasted about 40 minutes. Becky and I left Doug's house and drove down the freeway so she could watch the sky being blown up. We made a big circle around Fort Vancouver and managed to see some of the sights and we still missed the humongous traffic jam that always follows the display. Nice to say we saw some of the display but I sure wouldn't make a habit of it. Today was a domestic day so did our laundry and made a grocery run for goodies to take to Coos Bay. Tomorrow another "get ready to get ready" day and on Saturday we'll park in front of Dug's house and get everything loaded up so we can leave early Sunday morning. W & B
