Let Freedom Ring

Thanks to our little rain storm yesterday, the weather cooled down just in time for the 4th of July festivities. It was such a nice evening! Four of us headed down to Boulder City which is our favorite place to watch fireworks in town. Tanner and Talon were both at parties, so they didn't join us, but we had all played volleyball eariler in the day with friends. I made some fried chicken and coleslaw, rice krispy treats and white choc. macadamia nut cookies and brought some watermelon and stawberries. We got there at 6:00 and had three hours just to enjoy ourselves before the fireworks started.

We played Oh Heck and some Bocce Ball and a couple of games of Village Idiot. We watched the parasailors too.

When the sun went down it was heavenly! So cool (temp wise).

We had our favorite prime viewing area and Taz and Cynjyn laid on the blanket.

We enjoyed a solid 25 min. of fireworks. I brought the camera and played around with the settings. I'll only bore you with this one of many that I took.

I had seen some suggestions for camera settings to get some cool effects with sparklers, so I tried that when we got home.

Talon got home just as we did and Tanner's party was done at 11, so we waited for him and he brought 4 friends to watch our little show.

$80.00 worth of fireworks come and gone in a matter of minutes...but fun memories that will last a life time.

Happy Fourth everyone!
