Yesterday was July 4, which meant fireworks! As usual we invested heavily:
Probably the most absurd of the bunch:
Once the sun went down, the usual celebration ensued:
As you can see ‘the Kims’ joined us for BBQ and fireworks, and they even performed a (fake) ‘ritual Korean dance’ for our amusement using the handheld sword fireworks!
Halfway through us setting up fireworks, a guy ‘just down the street’ started launching incredible rockets and mortars into the air from his front yard! We walked a few driveways down and enjoyed a show that lasted for over nine minutes!
It was incredible, with endless skybursts and massive booming explosions right down the road! It may end up being one of the most amazing fireworks displays we’ll ever see!
It was a great evening. Not only was there good food (thanks Jessica!) and hours of fireworks, we were also surrounded with fireflies and even saw a beautiful big fox run along the edge of our backyard just before sundown!
I’ll have to put the wildlife camera out again…
