Fireworks and Fireflies

Yeah fireflies! Lots of them. Might try catch some in a jar some time.

So first impressions of Beavercreek. It's really hot firstly. Not quite overwhelmingly, intolerably hot but close. Everything is very open and green. It's not very built up at all of what I've seen. The houses remind me a little of Finland, probably mostly because there are few to no fences or hedges separating the properties.

We were super tired when we arrived (not surprisingly given that we'd each slept no more, and likely less, than around 2-3 interrupted hours the night before) so had a tour of the house, some lunch and pretty much crashed.

Before dinner we decided to go for a short walk to stretch our legs. Headed to the park around the corner and immediately someone calls out to Jon from the other side of the park "Bakos! Get over here!" So we got over there to find a 4th of July BBQ going on with a whole bunch of Jon's good high school friends there! Beavercreek aye!? So that was fun and we stayed there quite a while, sweating it out in the sun before someone noticed a nice shade-giving tree nearby. Walked back as the sun was getting low and the temperature was about perfect, had some dinner then went to Rotary Park to watch some fireworks, of course! And eat a giant pretzel with cheese dipping sauce.
