Fireworks this Weekend
This weekend the local "box" stores hosted a huge fireworks display for the area residents. Apparently they do this every year as a thank you to the community for their patronage of their businesses. We headed up to the empty field next to "Bed, Bath and Beyond", and "Pet Smart" and munched on some sandwiches while we watched the display.
From the spot we were sitting, it felt like we were "at war", or at the very least observing an attack from the perspective of Wolf Blitzer or Christiane Amanpour.
Trevor very quickly made it clear that we were sitting too close to the fireworks (so what if they were exploding over our heads and raining debris on us!) and made Mom and Dad move back to a "safer distance".
The next thing you know he will make me move back from the TV, and not let me drink cold milk while eating hot soup. No worries Trev, I brought my umbrella. Grr.

Ha! I was in a car driving by the display on 87 (i didnt know about it) and Jenny was at the wheel. Jenny has a previously unmentioned fear of fireworks, so the car would lurch, stop and go as the fireworks went off. I was so car sick by the time we got to the restaurant that I almost didnt eat. Almost...but of course I pulled through and took one for the team.
