I'm sure that most Americans have been to a fireworks show. If by chance you are an American that has not attended such a fine display of colorful explosives you should check your patriotic pulse. Once again Adrienne and I were able to attend the Vernon Hills Fireworks show with some friends. We all had a good time playing board games, listening to a band that seemed to never take a breath in the music, eating cheese puffs, and watching bright paid-by-the-tax-payer fireworks.

I was looking through our pictures of the event and thought that I'd share this particular picture with whoever rolls across this drivel. I bid all to enjoy.
