Then on the way home Hanna sang all kinds of cRaZy, funny songs with Nyla to keep her entertained!!!
Annnnnnnnnnnnd THEN at night we all drove to BERKLEY AKA: BEZERKLY to watch fire works over the water. Before we left for the festival, we were met at the house by some more people that Hanna and Anali are all friends with: Jeremy and Cassie, and Mikey, which I have heard all about but finally got to meet!!!

This is our group all just hanging out and waiting for it to get dark...
Here we are all of us crowded in WAITING for the fireworks...Somehow we ended up by the men's restroom...AHAHHAHA!!!
Nyla OF COURSE managed to get shoulder rides the whole night!!!
She also was yelling at all the men EVERYTIME they would flush the toilet and we could hear it flushing...LOLOL...OH NYLA!!!
I think our group managed to be THE LOUDEST group there...Everyone made me PROUD!!! AHAHA!!! Now Mesgana found someone's shoulder's to get on...this WHOLE time we're just waiting and waiting and waiting...we were doing these count downs till 9:30 and then at 9:30 NOTHING happened so we had to wait ANOTHER WHOLE 15 minutes...which may not seem like a long time BUUUUUT it is when your as crowded as us annnnnd waiting by the men's restroom...
FINALLY at 9:45 the fireworks started going off...WE ALL CHEERED AND CHEERED AND CHEERED!!! And Nyla was sooooooo FUNNNNNY the whole time she kept yelling stuff out...this is better than Florida's display!!! This is better than NEW YORK'S display!!! This is BETTER THAN England's!!! (Wait she's been to ENGLAND???) And when she said that someone in our group said yeah it is...THATS WHY WE'RE HERE!!!
Annnnnd the group was yelling out all kinds of ridiculous things...like EVERY firwork we would be like all together OOooooo...then the next one all together...Awwwww....over and over again!!! We were definately entertaining the crowd around us but I think Mikey entertained everyone THE MOST!!! He would say all these cRaZy things like, WOW!! THAT WAS FANTASTIC!!! THAT WAS INCREDOULOUS!!! Then the next that was THE BEST FIRE WORK I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! WAIT NO, THIS ONE IS!!! AHAHAHA!!! It was super funny!!!
My sis said when we came back our whole group was charging towards them on the grass with Jeremy in the lead and Nyla on his shoulders the two of them roaring and Sis. Kifle calmly looks up and says, That would be our group returning!!! AHAHAHA!!! THen we started the long walk back with my too-small-shoes annnnnd somehow I lost track of the group and I thought I was walking waaaaaay behind everyone and I hear Anali yell out MARY!!! Annnnnd they were all behind me sooooo I have NO CLUE what happened!!!
This was a pillow I really, really, REALLY WANTED!!! I like purrred every time we walked by it!!! I have a blanket just like it!!! THen the next pic...me, Jen and Paul were reinacting the mannequins in the window...I have a pretty good pouty attitude look HUH!!!??!!! ;)
THEN FINALLY IN THE VAN!!! First thing I did was take OFF those too small shoes...annnnnnd see my FEET...thats them SMILING!!! :)))) Like my socks??? DOLLAR TREE!!! (: Awwwwwww just look at my cute feet SMILING...they were SOOOO HAPPY!!!
THEN the night was of COURSE NOT OVER!!! Because...We're Apostolic soooo that meant lets all GO EAT!!! AHAHAHA!!! Soooooooooo WE DID!!!
