happy 4th July

NO hard feelings guys!
Enjoy your independence.

Thank you very much. :lol

Anyways, I hope everyone has a happy and fun Fourth of July. Last year, Northern California was consumed with smoke and forest fires, so fireworks were postponed until sometime in late October. I'm looking forward to seeing them on the correct date this year!
 
We saw an AWESOME professional fireworks show on the 3rd in a park not too far away. It was 30 minutes long with what seemed like six finales!

It was bittersweet because the township usually offers a festival for kids beforehand, but they cancelled that portion to save money. There were a lot of critical letters in the newspaper saying they chose poorly.

It's a free country - you can complain or compliment in writing!

We had a nice BBQ (dozen people or so) and home fireworks show on the 4th, but the professional show was much better to watch.
