One thing I've realized that's better out here than in Utah is that you can actually set off some pretty cool fireworks. We went to a professional show with his family on the 4th, and then we bought our own that we set off on the 5th. We have fireworks tents in Utah, so that wasn't new to me, but the size and quantity of some of the fireworks, that was a new concept.
I shot a few pictures of the fireworks we purchased. We spent $126 on fireworks! Crazy, huh? Jason told me that he liked fireworks, but I mean really ... $126 on something you set on fire? Jason and his brother, Patrick, spent a lot of time looking at the big packages full of stuff, and of course the firecrackers. I was content to add a few bottle rockets and flowers to the bag.
While the boys were having fun lighting off the big ones, I showed the Chase family how we have fun with fireworks in Utah (by lighting the flowers, then waiting 'til the last second to throw them so they start spinning in the air). We had a good time setting off our own fireworks. I took a couple videos that I haven't watched yet. I want to make sure they're a good enough to post. I'll do that sometime later today or tomorrow. Let me tell you one thing though, the fountains we bought here were so wimpy! Utah definitely has better fountain fireworks.
Here are the pictures I took at the fireworks tent. Enjoy!
Look at the size of those things ... they're as big as my head! But a little more flammable.)
The wizard on the one the left is intriguing ... too bad it didn't make mewant to buy it. Now I'll never know how magical it really is.
