Saturday was the annual Rhythm and Booms event in town. Supposedly it's the biggest fireworks display in the midwest. How do they judge that? What's "the biggest" mean? Does that mean in terms of the number of shells they shoot off? The duration? The number of people in attendance? This has been going on for well over 10 years now, and I still can't figure it out. So I decided to open up my house for a gathering before the show, not sure whether or not the fireworks would actually take place because of a 40% chance of rain. I can only think of one other year they've actually postponed the fireworks because of weather, but Sunday wasn't supposed to be any better. Anyway, during the day, the weather was perfect. Great for burgers and brats and a little bocce.
...And a nap, apparently...Possibly the funniest event of the day was a result of some decision that couldn't be made about bocce. I don't completely understand it... But we all had a good laugh.
Eventually, almost 20 people showed up for the fireworks, which is a pretty big group. So we started walking to a good location, only to be told as soon as we arrive that the show had been cancelled.
Bugger.
Although, I guess it was probably a good thing when the 50mph winds blew through the neighborhood...
