Wow, this post is very late in coming, but the fireworks video will make you feel like it was totally worth waiting for. Trust me.
On July 3rd Needham hosted its Gala Fireworks in celebration of Independence Day. We showed up early and nabbed some great seats with Uncle Berhan, Auntie Karen, and Karynna. I had to pass the time somehow so I blew lots of bubbles and tried to pop as many as I could.
Blowing and popping bubbles oneself turned out to be a lot harder than I thought.
It was also lots of fun to just chase one another around on the synthetic turf.
As it got dark, we lit up our flexible glow sticks that Uncle Berhan bought for us. He’s so nice, unlike Daddy who blinded me with the camera flash. I had a great time spinning the glow stick while waiting for the main attraction to begin.
Lots of well-deserved oohs and ahhs!
Fireworks just don’t seem complete without some great American music. Here’s the John Philip Sousa band playing The Stars and Stripes Forever from 1906. I hope you can enjoy it almost as much as I did! God bless America.

To say that was elaborate is an understatement.
