Best fireworks EVER...

Hoquiam's big thing each year is the Logger Play day which is the first Saturday of September.  This year was the 50th annual and I wanted to go.  Last year it fell on Shane's birthday but luckily this year it was the day before.  Shane had gone as a kid and said it was boring but I worked hard and got both the boys to agree to go with me.  I even got one of Sky's friends who had also been told it was boring and didn't want to go to change his mind and join us...I had bought a ticket for Shane but he was working on the house so this way I was able to use all 4 tickets.

While in college in Spokane I competed in Logger Sports.  Although I double bucked crooked cookies I was great at the ax though...never attempted to climb the pole let alone top the tree because, well that is a really tall pole even when you don't have a big saw tied to you!

I had a blast!  They even had a couple world champion log rollers there and it was really amazing how long they stayed on.  The royal court did not fair so well.  I believe the Queen won but both were in the water within 2 seconds of the log being let go.

The night ended with the most amazing firework display I have EVER seen!  For one because we were so close, I am use to watching from my front deck on my Carnahan house.  But they also seemed to go for ever and were so colorful and amazing.  My phone battery died and I was not able to get any photos of the display and I am so bummed. 

The boys had mentioned a couple times during the show that they were getting bored.  At that point I got them hot dogs, then ice cream and lastly light up swords but after the fireworks Sky asked if we can go next year too.  All 3 boys couldn't stop talking about how cool the fireworks were...There were a lot of "Dude remember the one that..."  and "Oh Dude".

I was just as bad though I gave Shane a complete run down of the show.  He said it sounds better then what he remembers and even said maybe next year he will join us.
