All I could eat veggie dim sum for breakfast (I don't mean to keep talking about vegetarian things, but there's just so much good stuff here). Then I got to fulfill a lifelong goal of being
eaten by a colossal squid at the Academy of Natural Sciences. They had a whole show about
squids and other deep sea creatures in addition to their other
cool stuff. This
display initiated a facts-of life conversation between a three year old girl and her father which was one of the best conversations I've ever heard in my whole life.
Rahh. It was so super hot outside (97 degrees I think) that people made an awesome water park out of a
public fountain.
HI!.
We walked around the festivities/sea of people/
cops where the firetrucks were making
sprinklers so people didn't melt. We hid out in the
shade (hopefully this pretty makes up for the dinosaur picture, Nicole).
I saw a little bit of
The Roots concert, then parked amid the
sea of people and listened to the Goo Goo Dolls play until it got
really dark for
fireworks (really, what kind of photo blog would this be without the manditory pictures of
fireworks).
Lily didn't make it that far. Then it was a
fun ride home.
