Fireworks

We were party poopers for July 4th.  We have gone downtown several times for their fireworks show.  But had no desire to do it this year.  We anticipated a very hot day and didn't want to mill around downtown with crowds of people.  We decided to stay home and watch a movie. 

During the movie I kept hearing strange clicking noises.  I thought the missionaries were doing something strange downstairs.  But every once in a while we would mute the TV and the sound would stop.  We couldn't figure it out - UNTIL - I saw something and looked out the window by the front door.  And, alas, we figured out what those strange sounds were.  Our entire cul-de-sac had a private fireworks show going on.  They had the tubes of pyrotechnic genius set up in the middle of the cul-de-sac and were setting them off in consistent intervals.  It was really pretty neat.  But Doug was already in him pajamas and we didn't go out to join them.  I'm sure we won some good neighbor points for that - NOT!  Anyway, next year we'll be sure to find our folding chairs and sit outside sipping our lemonades and enjoy a front row seat to the fireworks show!  You're all invited to come too!  No crowds.  No traffic.
