Fireworks are slowing down

The 4th weekend is coming to a close. Thursday, the 3rd, our city had their big fireworks celebration. Apparently they pay the guy $25,000 to do the fireworks. Not bad! As a firefighter wife, I get to park in the first lot, and don't have to deal with the traffic. It's a nice perk!! I was nervous this year, though. Bobby was on the launch pad during the fireworks show. Everytime one of the fireworks didn't get very high, I got a little nervous. And I'm not a nervous person. The fireworks operator told Bobby and the other firefighter if something goes wrong, to wait for the booms to stop before going in. He wanted to be the only dead one, not them too. Thanks. That's reassuring.

Friday night we had our 4th annual 4th of July party. Ended up with about 35 people. I think we had more kids than adults, but it was fun. Several people stayed until midnight, playing games and shooting off fireworks.

Hope you had a nice holiday weekend!
