| There were plenty of toys, and even a playground available to keep younger children occupied before the fireworks began, but those could not hold the interest of 2-year-old Matthew Hanna. He spent most of his playtime splashing about in a rain puddle that had not dried out from the downpour that occurred earlier on July 4.
