Where the Fireworks rang out at 11:30pm

The Fourth of July was a fun one for Austin and I, it was our first experience with it happening in Idaho. Last summer, we were celebrating Chris and Hayley's wedding! It's strange to be in school, and as Austin and I found out today, it doesn't result in attentive behavior in students the next day. Especially if the city's fireworks go off at 11:30pm at night! It was a mega-fail. Our fourth, however, was awesome. Austin had a crap-load of homework so I spent the day working on the illustrations for shakespeare. We did happen to get some kite flying in, and the people around us laughed at us. We almost saw a car crash as the driver and passenger shouted something weird to us out the window about our kite. Boo on them we were kick-@$$ with our kite. It's one of those $1 walmart plastic bag-like kind. In fact, we saw someone join in with their cheapy walmart kite too! Trendsetters. We also went to our favorite place ever, Kiwi Loco. I heart frozen yogurt with all my being. Plus they give us coupons --which btw is totally retarded because they are losing money from us...we'd go there anyway if there weren't coupons haha! As we walked out of Hemmingway Village (where Kiwi Loco is located) we noticed Porter Park being unusually happy and busy. Apparently they have something called Whoopee Days and have some tents set up with things like kettlecorn, a few crafts, some local businesses, philly cheesesteaks, the college jazz band, and mechanical bull riding. I have to say, people falling ontheir faces is the funniest things ever. Specially when they are macho and think they have it.... and the next thing you know they are flying in your direction. I am really going to enjoy myself at Cheyenne Frontier Days coming up here. Austin being the master BBQer set up some cheeseburgers at home, and I shot our coffee table out the window, and decorated the outer window with our paper lanterns. We had our own back yard 4th celebration while everyone stared at us being weird. You do what you can when you live in apartments like these! We played boggle, and I kicked Austin's trash, and he also spilled punch all over himself after trying to hide it from me saying there wasn't any. ;) He had it coming. We then saw fireworks starting to appear around the skyline, and sat down and watched what seemed to be the city's show. However, it wasn't and we were in bed by 10:30. We woke to the surprise of Rexburg's firework show happening at 11:30pm. Apparently (come to find out the next day) the rodeo didn't even startuntil 11:00pm....everything was late at the Whoopee Days, and so everyone was asleep and crazy today at school. What a Fourth!
