Jogging with a friend, parade in downtown STL where we saw Coach Yost and family, air show over the river and under the arch, Mr. Wizards on the way home, a little housework and rest, then playing and dinner with a crew of new friends in St. Charles for the evening, including a few of our own fireworks, until we drove back to Chesterfield where we parked to watch the big fireworks at the mall. Whew! Bone tired from a great day's fun.
But one of the best things of the day was hearing on NPR our nation's Declaration of Independence read aloud by I don't know how many people, about 20 sec./person. It was amazing to hear all the different accents and voices reading our declaration to me. I loved it! I don't remember the last time I read it or heard it read.
Happy 4th, y'all!
Fun! Where were you in St. Charles? They go off all over the place around here - sat in our neighborhood and had a panoramic view of fireworks all around!
ReplyDeleteJulie, I couldn't tell you where we were--somewhere off 94, at exit 9. It was a beautiful drive back in at 9:20 because there WERE fireworks EVERYWHERE!
