What the 4th of July be without fireworks!
"Big" fireworks are outlawed in Illinois; however when you live close to the boarder of Indiana, they somehow make their way into many people's backyards. These were no exception to that rule!
I went with my friend Jen to her cousin's place to watch them shoot off their $1000+ stock of fireworks. I have to say, it was nice to have your own personal fireworks display.
This is my favorite picture! I was surprised how well the pictures turned out, but I did make sure I used my "Firework" setting.
I have to say I've had some great 4th of July's. You may remember my post about my first year after graduate school - where I enjoyed a float trip with my friends over the 4th of July.
Also one of my favorite things I ever got, I got on the 4th of July-
My Sam Cat!
This little guy is 13 years old. He getting old and sickly, but he'll always be "my" first pet. We have always had family pets, but this little guy is mine. And he's a big old mama's boy!
I hope everyone had a good holiday weekend!
Questions: What's your favorite holiday? Did you do anything special for the 4th?
It was a nice long weekend but too short as always. Looked like you had a great one too!
