I spent July 4th without my wife for the first time in 24 years. She was taking Allie and the Jensen girls to Arizona to visit grandparents.
I went to the ward picnic by myself, but still had a good time. I came home and took a 3-hour nap, which was awesome! then I went to the Jensen’s for the rest of the night. The Hubners were there along with the Hidlebaughs, Rushes and a few others.
Best part of the night went down like this: Isaac was creating his own homemade firework and was set to light it in the street.
Right then a cop drove by. Isaac jumped up and walked away before lighting it. The cop turned around, stopped, and walked over to us. She said there was a report of someone lighting (illegal) bottle rockets and shooting them at cars. The people across the street had been lighting the rockets, but not shooting at cars.
The cop talked with us and the neighbors and left, but Isaac’s heart was still racing, thinking he’d done something wrong. It was awesome!
