Thursday was the Forth of July, and of course we had all our annual traditions. Our two biggest traditions are a huge block party and also going to watch the fireworks show. Our block party seems to grow more each year, but is always super fun. We even visitors from Germany! I invited some of my family, too. I got to meet my new neighbors that just moved in, stay extremely hydrated, and eat delicious food shared by everyone. It was truly an enjoyable experience.
We went to watch the fireworks at the elementary school since the fireworks are done only a block away. We got to take my baby cousin, Anabella, to see them for the first time. I honestly think she was more fascinated with the glow sticks my mom brought more that the lights in the sky. Here are some of the many photos I took:
Anyway, I believe this may end up being my last post before I leave. The nerves are definitely growing on me as the hours pass. There is exactly 25 hours until I leave. I am so hoping that my nerves will be for nothing, and that everything will go as planned. Ok, well bye! I'll miss you! I hope I will have the opportunity to post sometime in the next 4 weeks. If not I will write then! Love you!
