Even in the rain there were fireworks!

All day we kept an eye on the weather to see if it we would cooperate. So, with the assurance of the local meteorologists we headed downtown last night to watch the Celebration on the Grand fireworks. We met my dad for dinner first and then found our usual spot to settle in to wait for the fireworks to begin. Papa came prepared with popcorn for us to enjoy, although Joshua thought the popcorn was all for him! It was a beautiful night and the fireworks were only half hour away from launching. Then we felt some sprinkles of rain. The sprinkles didn't last but a few minutes, but the clouds overhead didn't look promising. The fireworks started and only a few minutes into it the rain started to come down. It poured pretty hard for a few minutes as the fireworks went on and then it quit almost as quickly as it had started while the last five minutes of the fireworks went off. Even with the strange weather, it was a fun evening!

Joshua thought the popcorn was all his!

"Boom, boom, boom" was all Joshua could say as the fireworks went off.
