Getting with my family is always an adventure. I think we try to see how much we can make each other laugh. Well yesterday was July 4th, Independence Day and I went to my parents house for a family BBQ and fireworks. We enjoyed steaks, ribs, fish, salads, fruit, vegetables, and home made root beer. It was a unique experience to have a neighboring family join us for the BBQ. They were so cute. We had a great time telling stories, and laughing around the table.
Later as it got dark we started to light the fireworks. The men always take charge and light them. They can't help it, especially when my brothers are such pyro maniacs. Any way, it brought the kid out of us, and we had a blast. We would yell out the colors, and "ew" and "aw" over the all the small to large fireworks. For me the best part was when ended by singing the "The Star Spangled Banner" and waving around are lit sparklers.
Truly a memory I will cherish for all time.
