When I told Gavin we were going to watch fireworks, he asked, "Are we going to the dirt place?" I told him yes, and he was ecstatic. See, some of the families in our ward have a 4th of July tradition. The Soboba Casino does fireworks every year on the 3rd of July, so they don't compete with the city's display. So, we load our kids up in the car, drive a couple of blocks, and park on the shoulder of the road. We set up lawn chairs and blankets and put snacks on a fold up table. The kids play together until dark, and the grown ups mingle and chat. Then, we enjoy the fireworks show. We get home and have kids in bed by 10 pm. So stress-free! Sometimes people will still go to the park the next day for the city fireworks; this year, our family just stayed home. It's not a spectacular event, but I just love getting together with our ward friends!

How fun! You are making me crazy jealous of your neighbors!
Very cool!
That was fun! But I was stuffed after awhile! Our ward is the best. I'm not even exaggerating. Everyone is so nice to each other, and I have really awesome friends in our ward!
