We decided to take an adventure and go to a small neighboring town called Rockaway Beach for fireworks on the Fourth (most towns in our area actually have fireworks either before or after the Fourth.) We were told that we'd be venturing into some possibly "sketchy" areas, but we were unalarmed and ready for fun! We parked at a great little church that was running a bus all evening to take people down to the lakefront (what a great service for them to provide!) My boys were ecstatic to ride on a "real" school bus. A first for both of them :)
Our longtime friends, Jon and Bobbi Caranna, were in town visiting for the week from Kentucky. So glad they were around for all the fun!
Drew is trying to decide if he's going to look up for the fireworks.
I L-O-V-E my little crew
Our crew waiting for the show. We were very fortunate to have perfect weather. I actually wished I had brought a sweater with me!

A little glimpse down the lakefront that went way down. It was packed!
Loving the fireworks
And Mac did too...
Oohh...Aahh...
The big finale came at the end with a giant boom...
That Drew loved and made Mac cry. Perfect description of my children's personality differences :)
A little more bus fun
Drew enjoyed the whole show, as long as he was holding my hand. Melt my heart!
