These red white and blue fireworks rose high over the nearby Mystic Lake Casino last year. Stan and Kathleen watched and photographed them from the privacy of Matt and Ann Drees' cow pasture adjacent to the casino.
We always sit inside the car to keep the mosquitoes away, but maybe this year we'll bring lawn chairs. The skeeters haven't really come out yet, owing to the drought/heavy rain patterns that have foiled their nesting cycle. And let's give some credit to the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District while we are at it. They've been patrolling in their pickups with their pellets.
Matt and Ann will be far away in Canada this year, but that's okay, we've got our reservation.
Where do you watch the fireworks?
