Fireworks a Day Late

Due to the bad storm yesterday, the fireworks display was rescheduled to tonight and so we set off again at 9 pm to find a spot near the open field where they usually have the fireworks. Last night we had a great parking spot but tonight our spot was taken. After parking we made our way down the side of the field, spread our blanket and waited 20 minutes for the fireworks to start.

Around 9:25 pm they tested a couple of fireworks which had the sensitive nancy cars sounding their alarms and finally the owners realized that they'd need to turn their alarms right off otherwise they would have returned to a car with a dead battery.

As usual the fireworks were good and the boys loved it. Right at the end they did a big red, white and blue display that went on for about 45 seconds and it was so loud that it actually vibrated in my chest. Traffic was crazy on the way home but the boys had fun waving to the firefighters who were there just in case a fire started.
