Happy Fourth!
Should be a very pleasant day here. Will probably take the kiddies either to the lake or Bunker Beach.
On Saturday we went to Como Park Zoo. (Got there right when it opened so we'd get a parking spot. There was a lot going on there that day, and parking filled up quickly.) We managed to see the Sparky show finally. In the past, either we weren't there at the right time, or at one time Sparky had died so they were training a different Sparky.
After seeing the animals, the kids went on some carnival rides. They've redone that section, and there were new rides there. The kids enjoyed a fire truck one where they stood in the back of a fire truck and squirted water as it drove around and around. They also like a frog hooper one, where they sat down in this bench that suddenly went into the air on a post, then kinda bounced back down, did that a few times.
Rhonda and I went to see Sahara yesterday afternoon at a second-run theater. Tickets were only $2 apiece. That's a fun movie. A couple of gratuitous slams at conservatives, but otherwise pure escapist fun. It's from a Clive Cussler Dirk Pitt novel, but I don't think the movie's Pitt was much like the novel's Pitt. Too wise-cracky and the like. But, on its own, still enjoyable.
Happy 4th to all our soldiers serving everywhere. We enjoy the freedoms we do because people have been away from home on this day serving in harm's way. Salute.
