Fireworks

We just got back from the fireworks show. It was awesome. I forgot my camera but I can tell you some of the highlights. We left our house about 8:30PM because the fireworks were supposed to start at 9:30PM. Well, as we were getting in our car at 8:30 it starts pouring down rain. Of course because every year we've been here it has rained on the fourth of July. We get to the parade field and it starts raining even harder so we decide to sit in the van and see if it will either stop or at least slow down a bit before getting out. So here we were sitting in the car waiting when we see a ton of people going to their cars and leaving... DRENCHED!!! I mean soaked from head to toe. The fireworks started at about 9:10 we think because they didn't want it to start pouring again before they could start them at 9:30 so we hop out of the van with the wagon and go to watch them. Nattie did extremely well watching them and only occasionally grabbed onto me for comfort. Samara did extremely well but wanted to hold my hand which was fine with me. Alyssa on the other hand hates loud noises so she cried through almost the entire thing saying that she wanted to go home and that she hated fireworks. Then we headed back to the car after they were over and Alyssa says in a loud voice "That was awesome". It was so funny. Anyways I think we all had a great time. Oh, by the way, all of you who thought we were going to DC for fireworks, we decided to cancel our reservation at the hotel because we knew it was going to rain and there are other things that we are planning on spending that money on other things since we're probably going to be moving within the next 4 months. That's our story of our wonderful fourth of July, well at least the fireworks part of it. We hope you all had a happy fourth too.
