Well, lemme tell ya, that Kingsland fireworks show on July 3rd, it’s somethin’ else. I heard it’s gonna be a real hootenanny this year. You know, they got that big ol’ shindig, the AquaBoom, over in Kingsland every year around Independence Day. And this year they be saying it is July 3rd. That is today! Lord have mercy!
They got all sorts of stuff goin’ on. Parades and whatnot. My old ears ain’t what they used to be, but I reckon it’s a sight to see. Lots of folks come from all over for it, I hear. They say it is family-friendly. Well, that’s good to hear. Ain’t nothin’ worse than a bunch of young hooligans runnin’ around causin’ trouble.
Now, these Kingsland fireworks, they’re the real deal. They shoot ’em off right over the water. I think it is that Llano River they talking about. Makes for a pretty picture, I’m sure. That fireworks show, that’s the big finale. They say it’s somethin’ to behold, those fireworks over the water. I reckon, I’ll see it on the TV. That sounds just fine for me. Don’t like big crowds these days, give me the willies!
They say it’s free to get in. Now that’s what I like to hear! Free is always good. Don’t cost nothin’ but your time, I guess. And you can bring the whole family. Kids, grandkids, all of ’em. They’ll have a good time, I bet.
I heard they got some kind of contest too, with prizes and all. I reckon it got somethin’ to do with boats? Or maybe the parade? Oh, who knows these days. They say it is some real money too! First place gets somethin’ like $500, they say! Second place gets $300. Shoot, that’s more money than I’ve seen in a long time. Could buy a whole lot of groceries with that kinda money. My old bones might not be able to do all that walking around for the prizes, but I sure wouldn’t mind having that kind of money!
I remember back in the day, we used to have fireworks in our little town. Nothin’ fancy like this Kingsland AquaBoom thing, but it was still fun. We’d all gather ’round, eat some watermelon, and watch the sky light up. Them were the days.
But this shindig in Kingsland, it sounds like a real party. They got it all planned out, I reckon. Starts on July 1st, they say, goes all the way to the 4th. Lots of different places doin’ things, too. Not just in one spot. Keeps things interestin’, I suppose. I don’t know why they call it Aquaboom. Maybe because it is near the water? And they do the big boom boom fireworks? Oh, these old bones are tired just thinking about it.

They even got rules about fireworks, you know. Dos and don’ts, they call ’em. Probably for safety and all that. Don’t want nobody gettin’ hurt. Fire is a dangerous thing, you know. It’s like a fire hazard or something. I am not sure. You be careful with them fireworks if you decide to go there! Don’t do anything crazy! Use your common sense. That’s what my mama always said.
If you’re lookin’ for somethin’ to do around the 4th of July, this AquaBoom thing in Kingsland might be just the ticket. Just remember what I said about those fireworks. Be careful and have fun. And don’t forget the bug spray! Them Texas mosquitoes are somethin’ fierce.
Now, I ain’t never been to this AquaBoom fireworks show myself, but I heard a lot about it. Sounds like a good time. If you go, let me know how it is. Maybe next year, I’ll get myself a new pair of shoes, and I’ll go. But for now, I need to rest these weary feet. And maybe have a slice of pie. Apple pie sounds good right about now.
That’s all I know about that Kingsland fireworks July 3rd thing. I hope it is a good show for everyone. Have fun, be safe, and God bless America! Don’t drink and drive! I hear these youngsters these days, they like that beer. Oh, well. Kids will be kids, I guess. They need to behave though, that’s for sure.
