Celebration of Light

Every July there are four fireworks shows, each put on by different a country. Over 1.6 million people attend annually, so it's quite the event! We went this past Saturday with the College & Career group from church. It started to rain about 10 minutes after we arrived and continued for the next three hours while we waited for the show. We managed to still have a good time, though. The clouds in the sky helped create a beautiful sunset.


Here's most of the group, sporting our cool 3-D glasses!


Before the fireworks began, a thunderstorm started a few miles away from us. The lightning was huge and beautiful, and wow, was the crowd ever impressed. We were told there are hardly ever thunderstorms around here (something about being close to a lot of water). It was awesome seeing the two light shows, God's and man's.
