Independence Day Weekend

In Ohio, where we're from, fireworks are illegal. So we've never really done any. Our only firework experiences were various city displays. But in Nebraska, fireworks are very legal, haha. There were vendors on every corner and then some so we stopped after dinner one day and got a few things. I got my own little variety kit, and for a first timer it didn't disappoint, haha. It actually had a lot of stuff in it and it was pretty fun.

Saturday we went to see some people my parents know from the internet and we hung out with them and they did a lot of fireworks there too.
Sunday we went to a parade in the city of Ralston. They take their parades very seriously, haha. There were a ton of people there and vendors and the parade itself was enormous. It took two hours for the whole parade. Needless to say we all have beautiful sunburns.
That evening we went to the church we've been attending and they had some food and we hung out for a while. We all did the rest of our fireworks and waited for the city's fireworks to start.
Then we had a much needed sleep-in the next day, haha.
