Fireworks

We went to visit friends in the eastern suburbs yesterday. Their deck gave us a fine view of the local firework display, without all that mixing with our fellow contrymen nonsense (or in this case, it being the 4th of July, their countrymen). We had a great time just hanging out and eating truly American amounts of food. Lauren and Sam played croquet (kinda), played with sparklers (carefully), and finally settled in to watch the fireworks. Lauren didn’t like the noise, so went inside to watch almost as soon as they started. Sam was high with anticipation, reacting to every small firework that went up from someone’s back yard. So naturally he fell asleep 5 minutes in to the real thing (in his defence it was past 10pm).
