Title: Did you survive the fourth?
Post by: gomiago on July 05, 2011, 08:19:37 am

We did, even though there was alot of bang's and boom's all night, probably to about midnight, even the night before. Now I need to check out our yard to make sure their's no leftover's from our neighbor's.

We did so with the use of Safe and Sane fireworks. And earplugs.

Yes!  Even with the rain.  But I'll take a little sprinkle over killer heat any day!

I was wiped out this morning, and I didn't even party last night.  Even my pets are irritable today.

I sure did! I had a somewhat quiet, (fireworks made it sound like a war zone) day. Did not leave the house.

Yep I did. I did a lot of walking yesterday though so my legs are a little sore. But had a nice walk, some junk food then watched the fireworks.

yeah i survived the fourth. had a good time at the celebrate america event and the fireworks were great!! so thankful that they voted to go on with the fireworks show. with the lack of rain, they were scared that the fireworks may start grass fires. the kids enjoyed the show.

Barely.  It was a jam-packed weekend and I was pretty exhausted today, but it was well worth it.

The park I went to to watch overhead fireworks, set them off for about 5 minutes before abruptly stopping. This was followed shortly by the sounds of fire trucks heading are direction. Turned out to be a huge fire. A rather entertaining night though.

Yep, otherwise I don't think I could post. =p  It was my first 4th of July at this house and I found that most of the neighbors had illegal fireworks it really was quite a show and I didn't have to pay for it. There weren't nearly that many near my old place. I really enjoyed it.
