happy (late) 4th of July!

I love fireworks. I love the sight, the sound, the smell... I ESPECIALLY like the concept of blowing stuff up! but yesterday was kind of a bummer here in the midwest. at around three o' clock it started to rain.

and rain.





and rain.

but not a hard rain, or a big storm. a long, drizzling rain that just wouldn't stop. the weather threatened to break loose any minute, so my family had to put off going to the local university to see the fireworks early to get a good spot. (believe me, we went last year five hours early and it was already packed.)
so we got there 2 hours before the fireworks were to start and parked a mile away from a reasonable spot. after 20 minutes of bickering about where the heck we were supposed to sit, we set off in search for a good-ish spot. after 2 hours, our waiting paid off. 20 minutes of fireworks. 

whether it was worth the trouble or not, I don't know, but I eventually did have fun.
