We were originally planning to spend the entire day at Longs park with friends and a stock pile of meat on the grill. We didn’t follow through on that; but did go out to the park for the orchestra and fireworks. Somehow Janele agreed to let me take Chloe, which turned out to be a pretty bad idea. During the fireworks she cowered and shook in fear. Needless to say we won’t be taking her to see any more firework displays. It was packed as usual, but we did get to experience a loud impatient mother yelling at her kids as we crunched our way through the rt 30 underpass to get back to our car.
