July 4th Festivities

WOW! It sure has been hard to find the time to blog this summer. As a matter of fact, just as I have typed those words, I realize that I have a load of laundry sitting in my washing machine that I desperately need to get into the dryer. Oh well! It will just have to wait -- right now, I choose to blog!I wanted to share a few pictures with you of our July 4th Festivities here in Schertz. I love living in a town that has a July 4th parade (even though we haven't ever been) :/ and a July 4th Carnival (even though we haven't ever been) :/ and a July 4th fireworks display (to THAT we HAVE been). The city shoots fireworks off at Pickerel Park and we chose to enjoy them from our parking place at the baseball field just down the road. This year, Kyle even went so far as to park his truck earlier in the day so that he could just drop the lot of us off at the truck just before dusk and go park the van. It is sooo crowded, you have to show up pretty early for a good parking space...he had to park the van several blocks away and just walk to us. It reminded us of all of those years he and his dad would go and park the truck along Elk River Mills Road so that we could watch the Sportsman's Park fireworks! I miss those Sportsman's Park fireworks!! However, the Schertz fireworks are the next best thing!
Granny & PopPop came over for dinner...Kyle grilled corn and ribs - YUM!...and then we headed out. Luke's ready to see some fireworks from the back of Kyle's truck. Kyla's ready to see some fireworks too!
I think this means that Summer is ready for the fireworks! :)

Luke is talking to Daddy about the fireworks and HOW MUCH LONGER it is going to be!

Fireworks pictures NEVER turn out as beautiful as the real things...but I had to try!
