Happy 4th of July!
Lot of fireworks everywhere! Columbus's Red, White and Boom on July 1st, 2011 is known for being the largest firework show in the Midwest of the United States.For the first time ever, we stayed late to watch the fireworks on TV until the grand finale.
Dublin Ohio's firework show was on July 4th, though we skipped, since we got up early for the fishing derby at the pond next to Dublin Recreation Center.
