4th of July

The 4th of July is kind of a big deal around here - for example, this year, there were fireworks being set off in our cul de sac from 1pm until 11:30pm. Last year it was more like 1pm until 1am.

It's nice being part of a community that does things together, I like to think of our cul de sac as a little community - several neighbors from around the corner also joined us this year.

It was a great night, fantastic show - crappy pictures. I didn't realize at first that my flash needed to be off, and by the time I figured it out Andrew was bored and wanted me to go in with him - specifically me, only I would do.

Also, it was smokey so the earlier pictures are kind of fuzzy due to that.

But here's the best of the bunch.
