We may go down to the small town where my mom lives. It's a true heart of American town with a quaint square where people bring fried chicken and watermelon and camp out on the lawn to watch the firework display.

Our other option is going to a major league baseball game and watching a huge display. Probably a little more stressful with all of the people and parking chaos....but the kids love that too.

I WON'T be listening to a slurring, stumbling alcoholic gripe about how I need to lighten up and let the kids have a little fun with explosives.....a first for many years! Holidays trigger a little PTSD for me, as they have always involved walking on eggshells. I can't wait to start some new traditions!!
