Had our fun neighbors and their 15-month old over for BBQ. Then we went wild and crazy and took the kids up the hill to see fireworks—way past bedtime. There’s a ton of construction going on at the top of our hill. Normally we respect the clear message given by a six-foot high fence and we don’t often venture onto construction sites, but for some reason on July 4th it’s different. Why? WELL…EVERYONE IS DOING IT. So, up the hill, behind the fence, across the field, and through the hole in another fence, we found ourselves sitting amongst the weeds (with about 30 other people) overlooking San Jose and much of the South Bay. The effort paid off--I think we saw more than 10 firework shows. It's like the scene in
Superman (we saw it at the drive-in Saturday night)
when Lois Lane takes her kid onto Lex Luther’s yacht uninvited and he asks, “Mommy, are we trespassing?” She says “no,” and then quickly revises her answers to “yes.” So in a couple years, when Ry asks the same question, what will I say?
