Tonight we headed down to Washington to enjoy a bit of the Cherry Festival. I would have to say that if any foreigners wanted to see what America was all about, they need to come to a town festival in the Mid-West as it wraps us up in a nutshell - midway rides, funnel cakes, snow cones, country music, beer gardens and fireworks.
The kids had a great time getting to ride a few of the rides and then we parked the truck about a block away from where they were going to shoot off the fireworks so as it got close to 9:30 we headed out and sat in the back of the truck with our lawnchairs and enjoyed watching them...true American style! Funny enough all the kids could talk about all day was watching the fireworks but once they started they both complained about them being too loud and were afraid that they were going to get hit by them...but Kevin and I had to remember that they hadn't seen a fireworks display this big. The closest thing they seen is the backyard show on Bonfire Night at the Beale's house...Can't wait until the 4th of July and see their faces!
