Dazzling Display

Ashley, Audry, Jenna, and Nathan

On Sunday night, we went to the Big Dam Bridge with the Stanisors to watch the fireworks. Let me back up a few months...last July 4th, we wanted to go watch fireworks, but I was not up for the crowds downtown, so I suggested we go to the BDB to see if we could see any from there. It turned out to be a great spot. Even though we were far away, we could see the show really well. We could even see some fireworks from 4th Fest in Maumelle and some of the big houses overlooking the river had their own mini-displays (much more impressive the Roman candles and sparklers we set off as kids!) Fast forward to Sunday night...we had a picnic on the bridge, went for a walk, and then settled down to watch the big show. Well, I don't know if they changed the location from which they shot the fireworks or what, but we couldn't see a thing! We could see the outer rim of some of the big explosions. That's it! It was rather disappointing.
