So this entry is about what I did during the days of the 2-10th of July.
My week started by painting my nails to look like flags.
Lindsay did my nails the first time. When they chipped I tried to repeat them. I was not as successful as Lindsay was.
Well Lindsay and I planned to go see as many firework shows in as many towns as we could think of during the week of the forth. We had many planned but many shows were postponed until the rain showers were gone. Even with the cancellations I still saw more shows in one year than I had ever seen in my life during the forth.
(This is the best firework from the Methuen MA, show.)
The first show we went to was the Methuen firework show. Lindsay lives there so we decided to go see hers. they were done on the second of July. The fireworks were so close they were awesome. However, the burning paper from the fireworks fell over the crowed of people and actually hurt some people. As long as you payed attention you were fine. I saw burning the paper falling so I moved out of the way and it burned the blanket where I had just been laying. I have a small burn mark on my work sweatshirt that wont come out. It makes me sad that the town is dumb enough to set off fireworks directly over their towns people instead of directly over the fire department lighting them off.
(This is not one of the best one but it is one of the biggest ones. Amesbury had many fireworks which were large in size and filled the huge sky.)
The second place we went, I meat up with my uncle and took him to the fireworks. (we went on the forth and on the way to his house there was a huge down poor so I thought the fireworks were going to get rained out but I also knew that one year it was raining and the town still set off the show.) He usually looks out his window to watch them. I love the fireworks in Amesbury MA, the town I mostly grew up in. I bought food and brought it to his house. Lindsay, my uncle, and I all had a cook out on his mini grill. Then we left for the fireworks. He has a bad hip so I couldn't get him to walk all the way up the big hill that most of the towns people sit on to watch the sky show. We made it half way up. It was still a perfect spot to watch them. There was a thunder storm going on in the corner of the sky while we were sitting in an open field on a large hill. I felt so exposed but it was safe since our sky was clear.
The third place we went just happen to be 1.5 hours away from my house, but we went anyway in hopes to bump into some one I knew. (We went on the 8th I think ) I tried to meet up with a friend who sort of blew me off. I told her I was in her town and would really like to meet up with her but she never found me. She said she was looking but I told her I was near the basket ball court and she said she was looking at the library. Clearly she was never going to find me. But that is all sad and done. I know not to expect much from her i guess. Four years of college and working hard on both our homework meant nothing to her. I feel so used. Karma gets those who are mean. AAAAANNNYYYWAY. I had never seen the fireworks from this town and didn't know what to expect. They were small but were really pretty. This was the only town to set of a heart. I am so going back next year.
I have a friend who writes an awesome blog about her adventures of her life, and I just couldn't imagine how she encountered so many animals. Well let me tell you my short time in Groton I finally understood some of what she posts in her blogs. Since it had rained there were frogs everywhere. I kept making Lindsay stop on the road so I could chase the frogs across the street and out of danger of being squished. Then we saw a deer standing on the side of the road. It was so freaking scary. Lindsay said out loud "I feel the need to lock the door." I laughed and said deers don't have thumbs they cant get the door open. But if they want in they will just take out a window. We ended up scaring away the deer by moving the car closer to it so I could try and take a picture. I missed and she ran off. Hope she is safe and isn't trying to cross the road any time soon. Then there was this really small mouse the size of a baby hamster that was trying to cross the street. Lindsay stopped on the road and we watch the little thing running back and forth between the middle of our side of the street and the grass line. Eventually the mouse ran into the grass and that was the end of the mouse crossing. Then when we thought it was safe to drive on more and a cream colored cat came out of no where and ran in front of the car luckily Lindsay braked and the stupid think made it to the other side of the road.
(My town, as in Raymond NH, didn't do smiles or hearts, however their fireworks were large and full of color, and my favorite firework was short off. The one that looks like a weeping willow, but no picture)
The fourth place we went for a firework show happens to be my town. I had a wonderful lady from Ala-non come to my fireworks all the way from Nashua. She said she loved taking pictures of the fireworks and when I mentioned that my fireworks are a week late (July 9th) and she drove up. We went to the down fare the three of us. We had so much fun blowing bubbles and eating strange foods and you wouldn't have even known that she was older than our ages put together. :) but I love having her around just the same. She understands so much more about life and the things I say, than most people do. She doesn't do sponsoring which makes me sad but I understand her reasoning. ANYWAY the fireworks in my town were larger than I'm used to because I went to a different spot to see them than i usually do. I would usually see them in my yard but instead we adventured out and watched them at the middle school. So much bigger and way louder and so much more beautiful.
Over all, I had the best forth of July week that I have ever had. And I cant wait to do it again.
