Last night was the annual Stueve-Speer Kaboomtown Food Fest and Fireworks Extravaganza. Yes, you read that right. We watched the fireworks on July 3. Go figure.
Matt and I have attended Kaboom-town nearly every year for the past umpteen. Before we had children we would go with my parents and celebrate my mom’s birthday with a picnic supper. Matt and my dad loved watching the vintage aircraft do their flyovers. Now we go with kids, friends and anyone else we can sucker in to joining us.
There’s always lots of food, lots of activity and lots of good times.
And then there’s fireworks.
We always bring our radio so we can listen to the simulcast as we watch the fireworks explode over the runway of the Addison airport. There’s always a mix of traditional patriotic marches, a tribute to the military, and current pop songs to enhance the fireworks experience. This year, the “William Tell Overture” was included and it reminded me of this little bit from Anita Renfro that should appeal to anyone who’s ever been a mother…or had a mother…or knows a mother.
