This year for the 4th we had our annual church picnic, complete with water slide and old fashion gunny sack races... we even did the Virginia Reel as a group, it was so much fun. With no fireworks show at the fairgrounds this year, and with the fact that fireworks are illegal in Santa Rosa, a bunch of us went over to the Bojorns house in Rhonert Park where they still are legal. We all brought fireworks to share, which led to a two hour show... yes, I said 2 hours. We all talked about how when we were kids, we would try to stretch out the fireworks to hopefully get 20 minutes worth of action. Well, this year, it was the show that wouldn't end. Between all the families we had about 400$ worth of fireworks. We had a blast though, and it was the first time the girls can remember doing them this way. The men of course loved the fireworks that were the size of the sunday paper, while most of the kids loved the sparklers. As for us moms, we just enjoyed watching the guys and our kids have so much fun. After a very long day, we arrived home at 11:30pm pretty pooped, but all the girls said it was the best fourth of July they ever had.... I'm glad!
