Fireworks
Last night our hosts here in Buffalo, New York took us to see July 4th fireworks, marking my first time not only to watch fireworks in the United States but also to celebrate Independence Day. It was great fun and some consolation for the bad weather we experienced in SW Ontario which prevented us from taking in the Canada Day celebrations. As this was our first Canada Day spent "at home" in five years, Kassie was disappointed, giving me cause to recount where in the past few years she has been lucky enough to gaze upon fireworks:
- on the Brittany coast on Bastille Day, 14 July 2005, to classical music
- Guy Fawkes Day (Bonfire Night) in the the West Midlands of England, on and around 5 November 2002-2004
- St. Stephen's Day along the banks of the Danube, Budapest, Hungary, 20 August 2003, to classical music.

Did you ever got to the display in Queen's Park, Jeanne? We go every year, come rain or shine (not that it's every sunny at the time of the evening in November, of course). Unfortunately I wasn't well enough last year but the others all went over and came back kicking off mud caked shoes.
No, we didn't go to Queen's Park, although it was one of Kassie's favourite places to visit in summer.
We usually went to the display at the theological college not far from our house. Friends invited us and it was always great fun for the kids.
