when I was a girl, my parents threw a huge 4th of July picnic....there was homemade potato salad, hamburgers & hotdogs, homemade ice cream...the city cousins would come...and Grandpa Vermal would buy huge fireworks assortments & shoot off for us at night.
we have in the past went to Lije's for the 4th & shot off fireworks. KJ never liked the noise. we have shot off our own fireworks sporadically, but not for a few years. We have went to Mercer's 4th of July a couple of times. Katie has danced at Princeton's 4th of July a couple of times. we haven't even bought fireworks for the last few years. didn't even get to Lineville to take pictures of the big blowups & eat Randy's ice cream this year. I am just not into it, I guess.
My new camera has fireworks option, Katie took pics at this years Mercer rescheduled 4th...the original 4th got rained out.
