4th of July celebrations!


So, as you all know, yesterday was Independence day. And it was a special one for me. This was the first year that i got to light fireworks. I know it doesn't sound like much but every year my brother lights them off and my dad told him to let me help. That made my day.





When my dad and I went to Food Lion before dinner, they had a small firework stand and there we got a firework called "Iced Out". Together my dad and I lit it and if you asked me, I would say that was the best fountain ever. It lasted for what felt like five minutes. It was gorgeous.





I also lit a couple more things. Like I lit one smoke bomb. Of course i picked the prettiest color (the blueish/greenish one). I didn't want my brother and his friend waste it by lighting it off in a cardboard box like they so carelessly did with the others.





From where my house was, we could see tidbits of the HVCC's fireworks. And what we could see, they were beautiful.





What gets me is that i could bet you any amount of money that most don't even know what they are celebrating. They are just happy they could light off fireworks legally.
