4th of July




Were you worried that we might miss the 4th of July celebrations?? We told the kids we would ("They don't celebrate 4th of July in China, it's a US holiday..."). Boy, were we wrong. We were just at the biggest 4th of July celebration we've ever been to!

Campus Village had a BBQ on the patio - 4 grills going - lots of people and lots of fun. And then, a HUGE fireworks show! About 15 minutes long, and big, aerial fireworks, like you'd see at Disneyland! But close, just across the road from us. We watched from our balcony facing the school.

Here are some pictures:

On the balcony:



Setting up in the field - each of those boxes contains many aerial fireworks.



The aftermath of thousands of firecrackers:



We hope you all enjoy your 4th of July as much as we did....the fireworks have finally ended so we are going to bed now!
