Well, this year we got together with a bunch of friends here in Memphis and had a BBQ at the Rudd's house. Thanks again guys! After wards, we all headed downtown to watch the firework show on the Mississippi River.
What a beautiful sunset huh?
Some of the optometry nerds...Brandon, Jason, Zach, Adam, and his son Cameron.
It was a cool experience to watch fireworks by the Mississippi. The best part was that we didn't have to stake out a spot and sit in the blazing heat all day! It made the day much more enjoyable. We showed up about an hour before the show started and we got seats right in front of where they shot them off. It was awesome!
The firework show was very cool. It didn't seem as long as the IF fireworks but nothing can compare to those, could they? :) Yes, that is a street lamp in the picture. We all were surprised that they left all the street lamps on during the firework show, but of course, we were in downtown Memphis...I don't think I would have wanted them to turn them off! Don't worry family, only 2 people were rushed out in an ambulance from gun shot wounds from where we were. No joke. The news says that the police believe they were hit by "celebratory" gun shots. How sad.
Anyway, we had a great 4th of July with our friends out here! We missed being around all the family but we are anxiously waiting for next weekend when Zach's dad comes to visit!! :)

the optometry nerds? I love it Zack is a nerd! Looks like the fireweorks were fun, I'm sure without us there it was pretty much worthless :) I miss you Sexy!!!!
It sounds like a beautiful scene to watch the fireworks over the river.
I will agree with you on the firework show in IF. We went the one year that we were in Idaho and it was the best one we've seen by far. Eric and I were talking about that ourselves. Happy 4th.
WHAT??? I didn't hear about the gun shot victims!! Yikes!! Glad it wasn't closer to us! Well, at least we had fun...it is always great spending time with you guys! Let's make it an tradition.
