Whoa, that's a lot of fireworks! After the traditional 3rd of July fireworks show at the Emerald Downs, Ben, Mackay and I headed up to the Muckelshoot Reservation to buy illegal fireworks. It was so much fun bartering and bargaining to get the best deal on this HUGE pack of cakes, rockets, shells, crackers and other showy fireworks. Ben donated some money to the cause and Mackay had a blast setting up this immaculate display and blowing off hours of fireworks. Needless to say it was a Lake Tapps 4th of July, with lots of firework shows, fun and food. Although, it was a little rainy and cloudy we still had fun--just not in the lake (it was way too cold for that).
The next day Ben and I went to the Tall Ships Festival in Tacoma with Josh and Jerusha and the kids. It was a lot of fun to see the pirate ships but it rained on us there too. Hence, the wet dog hairdo. But a little rain never stops the true Washingtonian from enjoying a good street fair.
Overall, this year's Independence Day was really fun. It was a little more relaxed than other years but I think we needed it to be.

That is a butt-load of fireworks! Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun!
Fun! Nice that you are teaching Mackay good old American Values. Illegal fireworks and all :) Just kidding, looks like a lot of fun though. We would have killed for some rain this 4th of July.
Holy freakn' fireworks! That is a mound of ruddy fireworks you got there. How stinkn' fun. I love the illegal stuff, they are the best. I bet Mackay had a ton of fun lighting those off. I won't tell Dave that you went to the tall ships festival, he will be sad. Pirates! Need I say more.

Thank goodness for illegal fireworks. My neighbors were lighting them holding them on their foreheads. Of course they were a bit intoxicated.
