Independence Day

We met up with some friends in the very small town of Roy this year to celebrate Independence Day. The main attraction to this "venue" was the opportunity to light off our own fireworks while we waited for the show. The whole town comes out and lines up along the railroad tracks to do the same. You not only get to see your fireworks, but everyone elses, too.

The kids had a great time with their sparklers and a roman candle or two. Kevin and Raymond did most of the "work" while I sat and visited with friends and watch the two little ones run amook.

When it was finally time for the town's firework display, we all found our seats and enjoyed the show. For a small town, it was pretty impressive (unlike my photographs!)
