Can I just say I love summer? This past week, we realized that it was Summerfest (it's what our town does every summer). We actually forgot all about it until we saw the car show and carnival while we were out looking for garage sales. So of course we had to stop by.
Like the girl that I am, I found the tents full of small shops. They were selling frogs! Yes, pet frogs. They were so cute and oh did I want one. But then we remembered we can't have pets in our apartment (but do fish and frogs really count?) and we don't have room for a tank. And then I realized I would have to buy crickets to feed the frog. Nope, nope, nope.
Fast forward a few hours later and we were braving the crowds to a park to watch the fireworks. We came at the end of the parade but were there soon enough to see Disney Princesses (Elsa, Ana, Belle, Rapunzel) and have a group of Bag Pipe players use the cross walk the same time we did (did you know those instruments are extremely loud right next to them?).
I apologize for the grainy photo below but we felt the desire to take pictures before the sun went down.
And this is the grand finale of the fireworks. I don't think the whole video was uploaded but you get the idea.
Ryan and I have also been trying to take more walks. We realized that we don't get as much exercise as we should. The other night, we decided to take a walk and were amazed to see this sunset.
I wish cameras captured the moment perfectly. Picture the colors ten times more vibrant and you have the right image. It really took our breath away.
Next weekend, we'll be headed to Las Vegas (lots of free books coming my way!). Hopefully we don't melt while we're there....
