The Car Show for Muscle Hot Rods

My family spent the weekend before the 4th of July looking at all the beautiful Hot Rods.  A family tradition for many years. This was my father’s love.  He spent his life rebuilding, racing, and admiring fast machines.  After my dad’s passing, we as a family have kept up the tradition and my brother has taken good care of the vehicles for my mom.  We grew up appreciating the engineering and artistry it takes to make these machines into the beautiful toys they are. Voom..Voom….

If you could not find a firework show this year, well I’ll just say, you didn’t go outside. I personally watched 5 different firework shows starting Saturday, July 1st through Sunday, July 9th.  On the official holiday, I watched four of my neighbors put on quite a show.  This year, Des Moines allowed the city to purchase and light personal fireworks on the 4th.  It was such a big deal, that on our local weather channel had SMOKE on the evening forecast.  I enjoyed all the shows, but I hope next year we don’t have a smoke/fog problem.
