Fireworks!!

Every year the town next to us, Stedman, does fireworks the Sunday before the fourth. This year because of sceduling conflicts, only Naomi could come with me.
We found a few friends and we all sat together. Ragno had his friend Noah, and they played the whole time. We were sitting next to a small hill and the kids just ran up and down all evening. We laid out a blanket and hauled out a few chairs to sit in. The fireworks started at 9pm and they lit up the sky until 9:20. Ragno has always been wary of the light show and sits in someone's lap until they're over, but because Noah was there, he was brave and sat on the blanket. He isn't afraid anymore, I guess peer pressure isn't all bad. I enjoy this beautiful country, I am grateful for the freedoms we have. Thanks to all those men who risked their lives to bring that about.

Sounds like a perfect evening. I love firework shows also. Go Ragno. Brynn is 6 1/2 and still hates fireworks and firework shows. She cried until Jim bought her a huge snow cone. Oh well, it worked
