red white and boom!

Friday, July 3rd 2009, I went to downtown with Daddy, Mommy and all their friends to see fireworks for United States Independence Day celebration.

It's a long way to get there. First we stopped at Matthew's house for dinner, then we all walked down the street to Hight St, to catch the bus. We had to wait for a while until the bus arrived. Thankfully, Matthew and I were sitting on the stroller when all the long walk took place :)

It's been a while I hadn't ride the bus. I was so exciting. When the bus reached campus area, it became so full and packed with all people going to downtown.

Then we're off at Long Street, downtown and took another long walk to get the good spot.

Finally, we settled down on the pavement across the river from the Veteran's Memorial Building. I walked with Bebe to go to some portable potty, then we walked around to see all the things around. There're soooo many people.

Finally, after the sun set, we all sat down and enjoying some snacks, funnel cakes, blooming onions and juices.

I heard several loud canon shots before the fireworks began. They were very loud! I can feel my heart beating and the vibration on the ground.

10pm, everyone standup when they played the Star-Spangled Banner song.

Finally, the fireworks began! It was very LOUD! I sat on Daddy's lap and asked him to cover my ears. Surprisingly, I enjoyed watching the fireworks. I didn't like it before, but with both my ears covered, I can see the beauty of the fireworks.

It took maybe 30 minutes after the show finished, then again, we had to walked back to High Street to catch the bus back to Matthew's house.

We had to wait in line with so many people trying to get to the bus as fast as they could.

I sat on the back of the bus on Mommy's lap, next to Dudud and Matthew's who sat on Bebe's lap. I was very tired and slept on the way back, whick took almost 1 hour!

When the bus stopped, we still need to walk back, but Dudud held me because I was too heavy for Mommy now :)

Dudud took us home to have a good night sleep, without another peep...
