The 4th of July was quite interesting to say the least. We did the normal thing. Swimming, food, more swimming, and sparklers. The girls were a little disappointed because when we were finally able to leave it was too late to go to the big firework show at Balloon Fiesta Park besides the fact that they did sparklers while it was still quite light outside. So Craig stopped on the way home to buy some fireworks so the girls could have a little show. (Side note: fireworks in the Albuquerque City limits are legal as long as they do not go any higher than 10 feet or something like that.) I don't know if I have ever mentioned but we live in what I like to call Little Mexico where all of our neighbors are Hispanic, and some speak very little English. That being the case our neighbors either don't know the laws or don't care. Either way it made for a great show! We had three different houses go and get thousands of dollars of the illegal fireworks and they kept them going until 1 a.m. It was a better show than anything we would have paid for!! Gotta love Little Mexico!!
