Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July to those who celebrate it, and to those who don't, here's some fireworks pictures I took tonight for you all to enjoy anyway!

Ooh those are so pretty!

What kind of things do you do on the 4th July?
(we don't celebrate over here so I have no idea!)

Well, what's popular to do is invite friends and family over (or go to someone else's house) and have a barbeque cookout. Then later you can go watch the city's fireworks show or do a little one of your own. Last night we just went in town to watch them. But a few times when I was little we would go to my grandmother's house and me and my cousins would light sparklers, fire crackers, Morning Glorys, etc...all that fizzly stuff, and sometimes my uncle would bring some fireworks and set them off in the back yard.

Oh, and a few years ago me and my dad would park on a country road behind the park where a different nearby city's firework show was going off and watch it from there (it'd be too hard to find a place to sit at the park, because it gets really packed at that show.) Their show is called Big Bang Boom, and it's where they have awesome fireworks coordinated to the songs a local radio station would play. They normally play popular rock songs, but one year they did all partiotic songs.

I remember one of the coolest things they did one time was when they were playing the song "Shot Through the Heart" by Bon Jovi, and it hit the chorus, they sent up a red firework that burst into the outline of a heart, and then a little yellow one fizzled through it like a bullet.

That sounds really fun!

And thats just fantastic!

But unfortunately something went wrong with that show last night. My dad and I were coming back from one fireworks show and were going to park up on the bridge less than a mile from our house because you can still see a lot of Big Bang Boom from there, but we only saw a few go up and they weren't coordinated to the songs at all. We decided to just go home but as we were pulling up in the driveway a DJ came on the radio and said there was something wrong but they get the show back on. I suppose they can't be perfect all the time. Lol.

I've also got a few videos here:

That second picture looks like nuclear fallout from an atomic bomb! All of our fireworks sucked... My family went to 4 displays, and none we good... We usually go to HallowWishes at Disney land, but, didnt this year

Wow! I like fireworks!
