3rd and 4th of July

On Saturday night, we drove to another county that was having their 4th of July celebration a day early. We listened to their local orchestra and choir, then we listened to the really good big city symphonic band, heard some speeches (and saw one man who stood and loudly booed the congressman), then watched fabulous fireworks. I felt like we had gone back in time to the "Music Man" movie where the whole town gathers in the park dressed in red white and blue.

We set off some of our own fireworks in our backyard. One perk of driving across Nevada and Texas: there are LOTS of stands selling fireworks!
