4th OF JULY

What an interesting 4th of July we had. As you can see the ground is wet in the pictures. It rained off and on all day. HURRAH!!!!! We desperately needed rain! But if you ask the little guy in the picture running with a sparkler.....he will tell you differently. We had planned on going to a celebration at a church that throws a gynormus (by small town standards) gathering with food, inflatables and fireworks. They actually do the best fireworks in town. Since it was raining off and on all day and I was having back pains we decided to go later in the evening. We arrived about 7:45 but it was not looking good. A really weird fog was rolling in and you could see the next storm moving towards us. It was already lightning. As we were looking for a place to park, I was on the phone with Christy who was already there, they announced that they would be starting the fireworks early in order to beat the storm. Five minutes later they were shooting off fireworks. We decided it would be best to just go to the neighboring Lowes parking lot and watch from there. GOOD THINKING!!!! They almost immediately went to their grand finale then shot off a few others and that was it-it started pouring the rain again!! So we come on home.
We had some fireworks here at the house but nothing of that magnitude, so we planned on shooting ours on the 5th of July. Dalton even talked Denny into going back and getting some more fireworks. Our neighbors asked us to come over to their yard cause they were shooting off their fireworks too so we took our stuff and gave it to the guys and let them shoot it (they are younger and can run faster! hehe) and enjoyed a nice evening with the neighbors. They had some MONSTER fireworks that was awesome!!! I didn't know the average person could buy the kind of stuff they had.
