Fireworks
Look up in the sky, I told Tara, there will be lots of colors and bright lights and loud noises--BOOM! But I guess words can't really prepare you for your first fireworks ever. It was Sunday night, seven of us at the nearby golf course, perched in our little beach chairs, waiting for the show to begin. At last, at 10 p.m., the first trickle of color jumped into the sky, and little Tara Vika jumped into my lap. She didn't move, and had a bit of a frown on her face. But within a few minutes, she was repeating my ooohs and ahhhs. She loved it.
When the show was over, we decided that the long walk around the fenced golf course was unnecessarily too far, so we all decided to hop the tall fence. That's three adults, two teen girl cousins (Caroline, Meagan), Austin, Tara, a stroller and six chairs. One by one, we heeved the items over the fence, including one pair of high-heeled shoes that would have made the climb impossible. Then we pushed each other up and over, mmmph. Quite a site to behold...(sorry for the nudge, Karen)
We will post some new pictures soon!

Yeah, everybody loves fireworks. Too bad my lonely neighbor didn't know where everyone was this year, he could have videotaped it.
