Fireworks
Usually Tuesdays are outing night, but since things got shifted around, we moved it to Wednesday.
It's tricky capturing fireworks on a camera, but I thought this moment was interesting. My parents had a few sparklers and fountains to play with and the girls liked dancing around with the pretty sparks coming out. Of course there was adult supervision and caution.
Our neighbors were shooting off hundreds of dollars worth of fireworks, the big expensive kind that explode in the air. I only note the pricetag, because things are becoming expensive and I can't imagine burning money on that scale! Regardless my opinion, it's their resource and our family enjoyed seeing the explosions in the sky so close up. So thank you extravagant neighbors!
In the US, the occasion is Independence day, when the US declared independence from the British Empire of that day.
My friends from England get a chuckle about this celebration every year. The funny thing is that my family (and my wife's family) were still living in England at the time that the US declared independence... so there's that. But stick it to those redcoats anyway!
Are there any celebrations that involve fireworks where you live?
Bless the Most High!
