Saturday... time to take the rides

It's time to do the rides and the kids are ready.
Mark, Elly, Sky and me head down to the river where we pick up the water taxi.
It's new this year cause the bridge is being worked on, 2 boats holding about 50 people running back and forth ferrying festers from east to west.
We get our tickets and it's to the fun house, the girls love it for whatever reason.
After going through it about 20 times it's on the other rides, spinning, twisting, laughing....
good times yes good times.
As it starts raining, again we catch the trolley, change to the downtown bus to cross the river another trolley and we're back home.

Fire works tonight, it's the big draw, streets blocked off, no traffic, walkers with strollers and coolers, right across the street from the house over the lake. The change is glued to the sidewalk,
the dollar is taped to a new string, we're good to go.
No drinking and driving tonight, I'm already home.
Ant's here shaking beers, the whole fam damily here, chairs, coolers, popcorn, treats it's all good.... I'm in my glory, only one person missing but she's here in spirit, Skys mom, my baby, she loved this too.
We're treated with a great fireworks display, man make and by mother nature, flashing lighting in the background, there are pics out there somewhere.
45 mins and it's all over, it's back to people watching.
The ones that went up the hill are now heading back down and the ones the went down are heading up. huh makes me wonder, but hey I just sittin here on my deck enjoying a beer and watching the cheer...
