There is nothing quite like the scent of steaks grilling and fireworks in the air. The Fourth of July is one of our favorite holidays. Fun in the sun, BBQ, beer, and fireworks all to celebrate our independence and recognize the men and women who continue to fight to protect our rights and freedoms, how can you go wrong?
We had a great holiday beginning on Friday with the 15-minute firework display in Pahrump. The show was enjoyable as always. Saturday we lounged by the pool, grilled steaks, corn and garlic bread, and then Frank and Jeff got our own personal show underway. Mortars, Aerials and Saturn Missiles went off one after another for nearly two straight hours. It was beautiful to see and fun to watch them enjoy themselves. Frank says we’re buying twice as much next year, and next year will be grander since we now know what offered the best bang for the buck.
All the Station Casinos lit off a simultaneous firework display. We were comfortable at home so we didn’t make the drive, but we could see a few bursts in the distance over Red Rock Casino. I heard it was a nice 9-minute display.
We wrapped up our night with a late-night swim, followed by a relaxing time lounging in the hot tub and lastly a game of Nertz. The holiday would’ve only been better if my brother, Mike, was there to join us. Still, it was great having my mom, Amy, Jeff and Nicky. With any luck, next year we will all be together to celebrate.
