and TIURD!!

Slight change in plans -
since all the Findlay Gang either had to work .
deliver furniture ,
or entertain Fambily tomorrow ...
We decided to just drive back home and not *Rent-a-Bed* ...

Till we drove past the Gathering Crowd up on the Findlay Reservoir ...
- WHUT'Z goin on??

Musta been 75 Folks in lawn chairs scattered along the east side
of the Reservoir ... we drove up and asked "What'cha DOIN?"

"FIREWORKS at 10:00 - Look GOOD from up here!"



We drove back down and parked ...
"Only" an hour & a half to *kill* before Show Tyme!

By 9:45 there must have been 500+ up there with us!
Parking lot was Past Full and folks were parking along the roads -
TWO Park Rangers were doing their best to direct traffic and
allowing cars to park almost ANYwhere except ON the paved roads.

The Fireworks were worth the wait!
Not only saw the main Findlay Show - but there were two other
shows a little further south that were visible!

The *BOOMERS* were distant enough the FurKids didn't
seem too concerned -
Cinder & SmokeMutt seemed to *watch* ...
Bowz alternated between *sound asleep* and *WIDE-Eyed*!

After the Show - we just sat and enjoyed the
*stampede* down the Reservoir and the resultant traffic jam!
Then a slow stroll back to the Bus and an easy drive out to the highway.

The Furry Co-Pilots were their usual Helpful Selves on the return trip ~
SOUND ASLEEP *crashed* on the back seat!
Cinder *came to* when we turned onto our road;
Smoke never picked his head up off the seat till we turned into the DRIVE;
and poor Bowser - he would have GLADLY slept in the Bus in the garage!

Great **PHUNN** Tyme today!!

We'll "process" the *snappies* and post em later ...

Big Bed Tyme for now!!
