We went to see the Austin Symphony’s fireworks display last night at Auditorium Shores. The music was wonderful; the weather was perfect and all four of us had a blast. We packed a lovely picnic (Kitchen Door chicken salad sandwiches, fresh organic melon from Hubby’s parents’ farm, cherries, carrots with ranch dip, homemade star cookies, homemade lemonade and perhaps a smuggled “adult beverage” or two) and got there early. While we were waiting for the music and fireworks, we played board games, read books and passed out themed temporary tattoos, patriotic pencils and small American flags (leftover from our big July 4th bashes in previous years) to the other event attendees. We also saw local Austin celebrity (???) Leslie, in all of his patriotic backless-panted glory.
I took some video of the fireworks finale – sorry that the video is in two parts; I had a camera glitch partway through.
