4th of July

My first holiday living on the West Coast.
So glad it was the 4th of July.

First, Lyndsey and I had Chris, Ashley, RJ, and Jennifer over for food. Jennifer made really awesome homemade chili and Ashley made her delicious spinach dip. We hung out, ate food, and played some games.  I hear that at the end of Apples to Apples the green cards you had won are supposed to describe you.... I'd say so:



Then Chris and Ashley invited Lyndsey, Jennifer, RJ, and I to go watch fireworks from Chris' co-worker Kass' boat. I thought it was super neat!


Most people watch the firework show from Gas Works Park. It is a huge show, I am glad we had somewhere to watch the fireworks across from the park because there was so many people!


We had finally found a parking spot 1 mile away from Kass' boat. But the walk wasn't that bad. These were all the boats that went out on the lake to watch the fireworks. There was a giant ship in the middle of the lake which is where the fireworks came from.


The camera wouldn't really get the Space Needle in with the fireworks but here is the view of the city line from the front of the boat.


And some fireworks: 


 I was the only one who wore a life vest. This was not only safe, but also a great conversation starter with the strangers on the boat. Yes, it may have been a little silly for me to wear, but I do silly things sometimes.


I sure hope everyone enjoyed their holiday because I feel I had a successful 4th of July in Seattle with some good friends. :)

  1. Safety first! What if a rouge firework blew your boat in half and you were the only one with a life jacket on? Wouldn't everyone else feel silly. I think you look adorable in orange. I'm glad you had such a good time. I laughed when I saw your Apples to Apples cards, they do describe you with uncanny accuracy.
