Street Fireworks

 

Today we celebrated Independence Day at the Ashcrafts.

Then we joined our neighbors for some sparklers and street fireworks.

It's nice to lounge around outside and watch the fireworks light up the street.

It's fun to watch the big explosions come out of these little boxes.

4th of July at the Hollywood Bowl

 

Dallas gave us her tickets to the Hollywood Bowl tonight as she recovers from surgery.

We offered the 3rd ticket to Evan, but he didn't want to go so Jeni and I went with Nana.

Harry Connick Jr. was the headliner, followed by the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and a lot of fireworks.

It has been years since we've been to a 4th of July fireworks show. It was incredible.

The Hollywood Bowl is such a great venue: outside in the Hollywood Hills with the Hollywood sign in the background.

I loved the patriotic music with a live orchestra and amazing fireworks so close-up.
