We like to take the kids out individually for their birthday and do something special with them, so I got a Second Cup gift card from Leah (bless you, Girl) for my birthday so I took Julia out for her birthday with it.

Fireworks (at Capital X aka:Klondike Days)



I love the sight of fireworks but there are also a few other things I like about them. I love hearing the rocketing squeals they make and the boom/crack afterwards, maybe in expectant anticipation to what follows: the beautiful display of shimmery, sparkling wonder. As well as (I know I'm weird Murray) the smell.....hahahah the smoked filled air..........the leftovers, if you will to an exciting show.
