And the Rockets Red Glare

For most of my life, I have never had the chance to celebrate the 4th with fireworks. Most 4th of Julys were spent in Canada and the few times I was in the country, I lived in a state where it was illegal to set fireworks off or buy them.
So tonight we had some fun. Granted, it was not as much fun as the street over, who have been setting off mortar shows for the last 2 hours, but it also didn't cost us the sum total of my paycheck. We did some of the small novelty ones like the Egg Laying Hen and the Tank. We had a few rainbow fountains and sparklers. We also had a few bottle rockets and 10 Roman Candles. Overall, it was fun night and, as I write this, my street still sounds like a war zone and probably will late into the night.
