Fireworks and Giant Bugs

So we enjoyed another sunny day for the 4th of July and we spent the day at the park and on a nature walk through the thick swampland of the Westside of Jacksonville. It was a pretty good time, except for the giant man eating bugs that grow in the woods out there. I'm pretty sure they were locusts, or just massive grasshoppers, but Becky left the door open on the car and two of them were making a break to steal our ride. And we also ran into some pretty creepy looking spiders and some tortoises (which are by no means slow). So it was a good walk. After that we let Paul run around a safer, bugless park for a while, and then caught the fireworks on the beach. Of course for me, the highlight was the two hour traffic jam getting out of there. But all in all, it was a great holiday, check it out:
