Our own rockets red glare







This one was called "One Bad Mother"



Checkers and Sassy: Checkers tried to bite me as I was trying to get my camera inside the fence bars. Who knew that a donkey would bite? I never saw that in Shrek. Joe told me that they would bite, but I was not believing it until I went out to the pasture to take pictures.

Uncle Walter shares his Nascar cap with Jordan.

The girls watching the neighbors fireworks show.

Jordan loved the fireworks. He would giggle when they went off. The noise did not scare him at all. He was dressed in a star shirt and flag shorts. What a cutie pie!


We spent the 4th of July at Beverly and Walter's house. They live out in the county and you can pop all the fireworks you like out there. The neighbors all did their own fireworks show. I think we had the best one. The fireworks vendors must love the 4th out in the county.


I read some information about how to photograph fireworks. I set my camera on the fireworks setting and set up my tripod. I had difficulty knowing when to press the shutter because they dide not all go up at the same speed. For the grand finale, the One Bad Mother and some other funny name that I can't remember, it was so spectacular, that I could not focus on the camera.


It was a wonderful 4th of July. The burgers and hotdogs were great. Thanks Walter and Beverly for having us all over.
