Hope everyone had a fun and safe J4!

I trust that everyone had a wonderful and safe July 4th! Was anyone able to go out and watch the fireworks? I hope so!

 

As for me I had to work this whole weekend, yes including today Sunday July 5th, but then I didn’t have to go into the office until 10pm so I made my July 4th useful. I got off of work on July 4th at 4:30pm so once I got off I went to my aunt’s house and hang around there for a few hours. By 7:30pm I took her kids to see the fireworks. Yes I know it was quite early but it was better to be early than late (like last year). I took them to the intersection of HWY 211 and HWY 124 in Hoschton Georgia. We parked across the street at the Government park and ride parking lot, we were the first few to be there. I borrowed my uncle (their dad’s) truck to take the kids. We park at the parking lot than went to the trunk and spread two opened sleeping begs in the back trunk. I went across the street to the gas station and bought them some snacks and drink while we wait until night fall. I enjoyed their company very much, they were great, and they all actually listened to me and did as they were told. It was baby Savier’s first firework show, last  year when I took them, we were late, very late, by the time we got there the show was about over so we didn’t get to see anything. This year we went early and saw everything. Baby Savier was so amazed at the fireworks that he sate quietly and watch, well besides his little “oohh,, ahhh” he was so adorable.

 

If only I had my camera on hand I would had totally taken lots of pictures, but then I had forgotten my camera and was too lazy to run home to get it since I live about 15 minutes away in the boondocks. I am glad I was able to take Vandala, Channing, Athena and baby Savier out to see the fireworks. It was a little something I want to do for them since their mom have done so much for me throughout my growing years. It’s nothing compare to what their mother had done and given me, but it’s a start.

    I’ve not seen the real firework in ages. The last couple of years we visited VA for our July 4th, and there is a town that we passed after we left the temple to go to our hotel, we saw people heading to the area where they had the firework, it’s ashamed we didn’t stop, maybe next year.

    Sounds like you had a great time, too bad you didn’t have your camera, you’d have captured lots of nice images.
