Fireworks

We set off a few small fireworks at Casey's parents' house this year before Independence Day, and then on the holiday, we spent the day together as a family and set off our own fireworks. What was fun was that we were completely, utterly, and totally outdone by our neighbors. They must have spent hundreds on illegal fireworks that were so so so much fun to watch! So we took in the sights and enjoyed their frivolity. From our neighborhood, we can walk up a hill and see a long ways. So we were able to see the big fireworks display at a nearby golf course, and see how many other people outside our neighborhood had spent hundreds on illegal fireworks! All in all, it was a nice way to celebrate America and the freedoms that we still have. We pray that the Lord will watch over us and protect those freedoms that so many men and women have sacrificed their lives to preserve.
