I hope that everyone here in the States is enjoying their holiday, and that everyone else is just having a good day. :3
I'm enjoying the first 4th of July being home in 3 years. xD Up until now it's just been another day at field camp, where I try really hard to make sure I can find bucket duties to work extra hours for holiday pay. (This wasn't difficult as regardless of the day, lots of stuff needed to get done and we worked ridiculous hours to do it.)
If you weren't working the night shift (and I always worked the night shift with the exception of my first year), someone would want to take a boat up to town because the natives would have an eskimo dance, then some sort of band in the town hall-like building. I did go the first year, and it was an interesting experience.
Growing up in Michigan, I always would go to the fireworks show at Eagle Harbor. It was one of my favorite things to do! We'd spend the day at my grandparents, have dinner, then my mom and siblings would go to watch fireworks. When I was older I went with my friends. Sometimes when I was young I just stayed at my grandparents by myself, skipping the big show and instead watched grampa set off smaller fireworks near the lake.
Here I'm not sure if we even have a fireworks show. It wouldn't make much sense because there is almost no night right now. I don't think people would want to wait until 2 am to watch fireworks. There is a recent ban on setting off individual fireworks in town, not that everyone listens. The main fireworks show for us is on New Years Eve when we have like no day. lol
Anywhoo, I thought I'd take some pictures of the ghouls for today! I went with hair colour for the red, white, and blue. :3
( One more picture )
I do have to say that I'm pretty frustrated with my country though atm.
