The Zhao Family

I think when Brennan was younger he did not know what 'scared' was because since the balloon accident, he never liked the sound of booms or pops-in fact he is very scared and shakes whenever he hears the sounds. So for our Fourth we tried to convince him to see the fireworks: we stayed at home and went to bed early. We tried. We can still hear the fireworks going off so Brennan would run crying to our room saying he's scared covering his ears. Fifteen minutes later, the fireworks were done. Silence at last; moments later thanks to the surrounding neighbors setting off little firecrackers here and there, we were up until past midnight for everything to settle. Maybe next year we will try once again.

Other than that, we were treated to an excellent breakfast and lunch by the Tsai family. It was delicious and great fun!!
