Fireworks {Kind of} Captured

We spent a few days at our creek property last week, and celebrated Canada Day there. It was an incredible camping trip, and for a very specific reasons {but, more on that later}. 

Of course, the highlight after the sun fully set, was the fireworks! Not long at all and it wasn’t an intense and dramatic show – but they were one of the best ever.

A family chose them, invited neighbours and we all huddled to share in the celebration. Then, cheers followed the bangs, breaking the compete silence of the country night.

This is it folks – these are the only photos I captured during this time. I was too busy smiling, taking in the moment and watching my kids eyes go wide.

Perfection.

    You may not have taken a lot of photos, but the ones you did are fabulous. We recently celebrated the 4th of July here in the States, and of course there were a lot of fireworks. Our kids either loved them, or in the case of the younger ones, they are a bit afraid. In any case, fireworks are a fun way to end the celebration.
