Well, folks I DID get to enjoy my 4th of July!!

Okay people. I worked at Harris Teeter today from 9-5. I did tell them I couldn't stay later because my parents invited both me and my girlfriend to a fireworks show at their country club. Unfortunately, our county ruled that the conditions were too dry. So, the fireworks show at the country club were CANCELLED!! NNNNOOOOO!!!!! I mean, people I don't know about you, but if you ask me, you just CAN'T have the Fourth of July without fireworks. So, I tried a different plan. I talked to my girlfriend if she would be interested in seeing the fireworks show at the Kenan Memorial Stadium at the UNC Campus. She agreed on that. So, we had dinner at my parents' country club, then went to Kenan. I just think I should share with you some photos of what things were like.

Here is a photo of Rockin' Uncle Sam!

Here is a partially eaten American Flag cake. 

Well, my mother told some of her friends that I was taking up a hobby in photography. Here is a picture I took of the bridge. 

Here is another picture of the bridge with some more trees in the background. 

Here were all the people over at Kenan to see the fireworks. Carson (my girlfriend) and I got there about an hour before the show. There was a band called Bull City Syndicate was there for extra entertainment until the big firework show. 

And HEEEERRRRREEEE the fireworks!!

And more fireworks! 

And more fireworks. Yeah, I love fireworks!

Hey, what can I say? I just can NOT get enough of fireworks!

And some more fireworks. No doubt about it. The fireworks show at Kenan Memorial Stadium in Chapel Hill has been declared one of the 10 best in the country! No, not in the state of North Carolina, but the WHOLE COUNTRY!! As in the WHOLE COUNTRY of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!! A GREAT way to show the country's birthday! Unfortunately, afterwords getting out was a PAIN. Carson and I parked in a parking garage in the UNC campus. But when we came back to the car we wait about half an hour before we can move AT ALL. And we weren't alone. Many people had a hard time leaving. Eventually, there were people who came out to direct traffic in the garage. I told one person they should have MORE people doing that starting next year. It sure makes getting out much easier. Well, eventually, we got out. It was an AWESOME show. I'm glad I got to see it. However, there was no way I will celebrate my Fourth of July with fireworks. I mean, you just can't have the Fourth without it. So, I had a happy Fourth of July. I hope all you fellow Americans did, too. It was fun.
