We arrived at Aunt Elaine's late Thursday night. On Friday, the 4th of July, we went to Grand Rapids to the John Ball Zoo. This was our second trip to this zoo and we love it there. On the way in to the zoo, Conner tripped and skinned his knee pretty bad. He was very upset and it was right where the knee bends and was going to make walking for a few hours painful. So, we rented him a stroller and went on with the day. We stopped at the gift shop and bought him a disposable camera and that kind of took his mind off of his knee.
After the zoo, we went back to Muskegon and stopped at Pier Marquette Park to play in the sand. Conner was 3 when we were in Michigan last, so everything was like seeing it for the first time. He loves to dig and Steve brought Conner's real shovel with us, so no plastic toys to worry about.
Aunt Elaine made us a great dinner and we rested until time for fireworks. We went down to the Channel to watch fireworks on the lake. We could see for miles. Constant firework shows in every direction you looked. It was beautiful and a different spin on the 4th of July.
