The Peavy Family Blog: I ❤️ Fireworks 💥

As we wrapped up the fireworks on July 3rd, Drake said something to the effect of….. “I love fireworks and that will never change.” So I am very glad we are here another year to do them.

It was hot day, but fortunately it cooled off in the evening for a really pleasant night. Mom had been busy all day getting food ready for the BBQ and she made Rice Krispie treats for the evening.

When the boys and I got back from Norfolk, the coals were going and the brats were done. Marshall then grilled up some delicious hamburgers and Mom had all the fixings.We did happy hour inside and played some cards before we ate. It was a nice time and Jaima was feeling better so it was wonderful to have here around as well.

Marshall and Drake headed out after dinner to play nine holes. Tanner spent some time in the swing and I got some time with him on the other swing as well. I went with Mom and Sharry to try and see the full moon come up, but we had the time wrong so headed back to the house to watch the fireworks.

They spent more money this year and had some really nice fireworks (and some really loud ones too).

After the fireworks wrapped up, several folks stayed around and chatted outside - it was really lovely. I know Drake was not excited about doing “a show”, but it really isn’t about the fireworks for the people who come - it’s about friends and family - and if they happens to be some fireworks, that’s a bonus. And the friends and family keeping us coming backing year after year (with a little fireworks thrown in).
