History Of Fireworks In America...

[honeybunny]

The entire neighborhood came out to enjoy the show last night,
except for the new lady who asked my husband to stop at noon. :rant

All of the kiddos had a blast watching my money go up in smoke,
but the smiles and fun memories were worth every pretty penny.

A breif history of this all American tradition:

She came over at noon and asked him to stop because the noise was bothering her dogs.
My husband looked at her like she was crazy and told her to get ready for ten more hours.

We do bottle rockets and fire crackers all day long, then big mortars at night.


(Edited to add: you cannot see parachutes at night.)

I don't mind it, really, since it's only once a year. However, they were alllllllllll over the neighborhood last night, allllllll down High Shoals, I'm sure, and really just everywhere. It was so loud. BabyB has not slept through the night in a month, and I was so afraid it was going to wake him last night. But, it didn't. Last night he slept through the whole night. :cheer1
