North Carolinian’s are CRAZY!
It’s Independence Day and this year we thought we could wake William up around 9PM so he could see fireworks for the first time. Being the responsible father, Ryan purchased his “fireworks” from the local grocery store. I say “fireworks” because a few pop-snappers and a couple of sparkers might not actually qualify.
In the meantime, every neighbor on our street drove to South Carolina and purchased professional grade TNT that emits a spectacular fire show, illuminating the rooftops of every house in our development.
We heard no screams, so we assume that everyone made it through the evening with all their fingers still attached. With so many people setting off fireworks at the same time, the sounds and smells of the area is like the Battle of Saratoga. Pop! Pop! Squeeeeeel! BANG! And, of course, there’s smoke everywhere.
Ryan’s little sparklers barely made a dent in the noise, smoke, and light pollution that was already happening, but William enjoyed all the commotion.
Happy 4th of July!!

North Carolinians!!! You haven't seen people down in Geo-aw-ga. Stinkin' rednecks, I tell ya. (But I'm one of them, so hey...) I hope ya'll had a great time! You'll have to come out to Ft. Bragg next year when we're back to get to experience a military 4th...
I like the big effort Ryan made to have Williams 1st 4th display. Next year, after seeing the Military 4th at Ft. Bragg, he'll ask you what was that we did last year????
Good job Elizabeth and Ry...
