Joshua and I enjoyed celebrating the fourth of July together this year. After I got off work, we put together a picnic and drove down to Dexter, a little town south east of Eugene. They have an event every year that includes music, food, and games, and culminates with a fireworks show. We got there and walked around to check things and there was quite the party going on. We found a spot on the outskirts of the area to set up our spot. We had a picnic feast for dinner with three bean salad and homegrown greens, deviled eggs, freshly baked rolls, watermelon, and peanut butter bites. We enjoyed relaxing and eating our dinner then playing a few rounds of cribbage while we listened to the bands and enjoyed all the activity going on.
This is the view from our spot; we were right by a large reservoir, but it's hard to see in the picture. The area was really pretty though and it was a beautiful day. It ended up getting chilly as the sun went down and we waited for the fireworks to start.
Finally it was time! I love fireworks on the fourth of July.
