Independence Day


We had an awesome day today celebrating Independence Day. We all along with our adopted daughter Malinda (by adopted I mean hanging out with us while her husband Paul is deployed) went to Brandon for some shopping and the fireworks at night. I'm not too sure what shopping has to do with the holiday but I was just along for the ride. I just wanted to see the fireworks. We also invited my friend Jason and his family along to watch the fireworks. It was great to be surrounded by friends and family for the night. For the last two years we have been going to the same location to watch them in the mall parking lot. I figured out what field they launch them out of and we park about 300 yards away from them. As they were going off we had the best vantage point in the entire area. A few of them looked like they were going to shower right down on us. I took some really good pictures of the event so I thought I would share them with everyone. They are in the scrolling slide show below. The only bad part is the chaos of traffic when it is all over. I think it is all worth it though. I hope everyone had as wonderful of a time as we did. I was just happy watching things blow up.
