My family and I look forward to the Milan Community Fair fireworks every year.  I like to think of them as the unofficial start of summer!! 

It's even better that we can see them from our backyard, which means no having to pack up chairs, blankets, snacks and the wagon, oh and all four kids to venture to a park to wait and then pack back up and then wait in traffic to get back home.  Haha.  I was going to also list bug spray, but we needed that too.  Hopefully you got the idea... 

Anyway, this year they were just as beautiful as ever!  Sometimes, when we have "family things", I elect to leave my camera behind just because I find it difficult to be 100% present while behind the lens.  BUT, this year, with all the kids camped out on our new trampoline, and my promise to my rec & ed class, I set up my camera and had a lot of fun!  

Next year you should check them out, too!  You can even visit the fair beforehand, which is always fun.  

Here are a couple of my favorite images...
