Day 1365 – M.A.F.F. (Mid-Atlantic Fireworks Festival) – You HAVE To Go!!

Posted on April 6, 2013 by 365 days of marriage

Tonight we went to the Mid-Atlantic Fireworks Festival. My cousin was doing a tribute show for my grandfather, which was the only reason I went. I will admit, I didn’t think it would be all that great. Just a few fireworks.

Boy, was I WRONG!

It consisted of about 6 shows. About 5-10 minutes for each show. They were choreographed to music…and just stunning.

They were fireworks like I remembered as a kid…where they were SO BIG you thought they’d fall on you (which wasn’t too far off as we were RIGHT THERE)….and they lasted forever. There were several times I wasn’t taking pictures and just standing there with that “mouth-hanging-open-starring-into-space-completely-and-totally-in-awe-of-something” kid face. I really miss being a kid.

Here’s a few videos of the show (I did NOT do these). There are a few others on this guy’s page! Enjoy!

Day 1088 – Oregon Ridge Fireworks With Some Seriously Awesome People

Posted on July 3, 2012 by 365 days of marriage

Today we hung out with some friends near Oregon Ridge. We brought all kinds of goodies for a small cookout, hanging out and fireworks. I’m so thankful for this group of friends…yet I didn’t take any pictures of them….I was having too much fun chatting!! We stayed until after dark to watch the fireworks from a distance, I DID get pictures of those! I love the full moon above them!!

Day 723 – Fourth of July Fun

Posted on July 4, 2011 by 365 days of marriage

So, we decided to hang out with my family on the 4th…but we didn’t go to fireworks…I was a little bummed about this, so I bought some ground ~~fireworks~~ sparklers. I was really excited to use them…so I lit off a few before dark.

See, I got mini fireworks!!

I had a “happy meal”

We had just finished dinner and I was sitting outside with my brother Josh…we saw a flash and realized there were fireworks! So we jumped up, I yelled in to my family “REAL FIREWORKS! REAL FIREWORKS! COME HERE NOW!” I only got the picture above.

Here’s everyone, minus me, waiting for more. I love that Gretchen (the dog) is sitting waiting as well. But, that was the last one, so we set off our own!
