Fireworks, finally!!!

The last fireworks I saw was in 2001 in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario. Since The Soo is a border town, we had the chance to watch 2 fireworks; one on July 1st and another one on July 4th. And we don't even need to watch them by the waterfront, just a block away from the apartment building and we could ooohhh & ahhhh. Such good times.

Then we moved to the west coast & I've been bugging Pak Labu to watch the fireworks every year! The 1st year, he fall asleep right after supper, woke up at 10pm & by then it was too late! The 2nd week, the kids were too young & it was way past their bedtime. Finally made it this year, still pass the kids' bedtime but hey, it was Canada Day & they can sleep in the next day since it was still a holiday.

Didn't leave the house till 9pm but we still made it in time in less then 45mins. Almost lost our way but a phonecall saved us from turning back home! Phewww!! And all that hassle & the fireworks only lasted less then 30mins!!! But the kids enjoyed them. Me too.
