This Is It.


I still can't believe that last night was probably the last night my family and I would do something together as a family this Summer.  Wow...Where the time gone?

So, last night, my family and I went over to a friend's farm to watch The Fireworks Show of the Summer!  I  was, of course, reluctant to go sit outside on a foldable chair on someone's farm on my last free Friday night of the Summer!  My mom pretty much guilted me into coming last night.  She said that this was probably going to be the last time we would do anything as a family this Summer.  Yes, I caved.

The drive there was quiet.  (Everyone was exhausted and slept most of the way there.)  I just sat there and worked on some blog ideas.  (FYI, I have to show you the cute new notebook I recently bought for the blog and my personal use!)  But when we finally arrived, we parked the car and had dinner.  Dinner was some yummy picnic food and pop!  Yum... (Yes, I just said POP!)

Sitting outside was ehhhh... You have to understand, I'm a "City Chick".  All my life, I've been a "City Slicker".  Always.  I love the city.  So, sitting outside on a farm is not my first choice for some "Family-Bonding-Time".  But time with my family is precious no matter where we are in the world.

I'm sorry I didn't get any good pictures of the fireworks.  But I must say, the fireworks were amazing!  I took a few cruddy pics.  (Blame my phone...)  But then, my arm got super tired because the fireworks were set off sporadically.  I decided to focus on the show itself rather than my silly phone.  If you had seen these fireworks, you wouldn't blame me.

I am so glad I went to the show.  Even though I was reluctant at first; I really enjoyed the show.  I read online that the fireworks show we saw was part of a WORLD RECORD for the Most Firecrackers Set Off and the Highest Firework Set Off in The World!!!!  How cool is that!?  Both of the record setters/breakers were spectacular.  The show itself was breathtaking!  I was "ooooh..." and "ahhhhh..."-ing the whole night long.  


When they were setting off the record amount for the Most Firecrackers, the bones in my chest were shaking and rumbling!  The sight of all of the firecrackers were great, but the shaking and noise was the best part of the show... ;)


There were smiley faces and hearts.  Traditional Ones and Palm Tree-Looking Ones.  There were so many types of fireworks and firecrackers.  They were so many different shapes, sizes and colors!  

I'm so thankful to have spent a great night with my family.  My family is the best thing God has ever given me.  They keep me grounded in the crazy world I live in today.  And I have no clue how they can deal with me and my craziness some days!

Have you ever seen such amazing fireworks ever in your life?  Do you love spending time with your family in the summer?  Can you believe Summer is almost over?
xoxo
