The IDEA of fireworks can be a bit daunting. I was a bit apprehensive about what fireworks would be like, and whether they would be too loud (even though I have seen them before). On our way to go see the fireworks in Wake Forest on the 3rd, I asked this many times. Following the display however, the new question was, when will it be July 4th again!!??!?! I loved the fireworks. We waited and waited together on our blanket for what seemed like forever, but it finally got dark, we started to see stars, the lights went out and we saw the fireworks! Luckily, there was more fireworks fun to be had on the 4th. After a picnic on the porch and blueberry pie we went outside at dusk and got to light sparklers! That too I was a bit nervous about at first, but once I got the hang of it I enjoyed them! We got to watch some fireworks on TV after that to end our fun holiday. Perhaps I won't have to wait a whole year for fireworks, but even if I do it will be worth it!
The week before the 4th we picked blueberries to enjoy at home and for our blueberry pie. Okay, I'll admit to eating more berries than I picked in my basket and I gave up picking after about 10 minutes, but I walked around sweating in the humid morning weather so it counts! I participated!
