The 3rd of July

Tonight we went and bought fireworks, because, yes they do let you buy fireworks in Oregon. We had a little dilemma with the ATMs being down all over town, but we were able to get cash out, eventually. We ended up spending a lot of money on fireworks...and we got to set off some of them tonight. I was a little frightened when Leigh started throwing whipper snappers at my feet, body, and face. But, Preston stuck up for me and made it clear to Uncle Leigh that it was a bad choice. The fireworks were a lot more exciting than I expected, and Leigh is apparently a professional at this whole 4th of July fireworks ordeal.
