Let Freedom Ring

I was just reading what I posted from last year's fourth of July holiday and I guess I can say "DITTO" from last year. Quent worked, my parents came up, we went to the town breakfast and the Brigham City fireworks.  If you want to keep reading here are the details:

We started the weekend off by heading down to Perry City's fireworks on Friday night, although once we were down there we found out it was Saturday night.  OOPS, I guess I read the paper wrong.

So on Saturday we did go to the Perry fireworks, it was fun to get out and celebrate the day.  Sunday my parents came up for dinner, it was fun to visit with them as we haven't seen them since Memorial Day weekend.

Today we went to the town breakfast, yummy pancakes, ham and eggs and Quent worked all day (as he did all weekend).  We are contemplating going to the Brigham City fireworks tonight but after not getting a lot of sleep last night we might not making -- oh and did I mention that the wind is blowing like CRAZY?  If that doesn't stop I'm guessing no fireworks.

You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness.  You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.  ~ Erma Bombeck 

Here are a few pictures I took at the fireworks show tonight in Brigham City.  (Note the picture from above is NOT my picture).  The pictures were not taken with a tripod, I was experimenting with taking pictures of fireworks for the first time, a tripod would have been excellent but you gotta make do with what you have!
