Fire-Work Blogging
Given the sister-in-law’s feelings about fireworks, she’s lucky she missed the 4th at the cabin. Being located relatively close to North Dakota, assures lot of pyrotechnics. While I don't wish to spend hundreds (or more!) dollars on fireworks, we enjoyed the fact that others’ priorities allow them to spend like maniacs on items that by their very nature are designed to blow to smithereens.
We were treated to many displays of fireworks on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights. None of these displays was an officially sanctioned event, but some were pretty neat. The hard part was trying to figure out which direction the next one was coming from – you had to keep scanning the lake to see the next big explosion. The kids of course probably caught only half the fun.
On a somewhat related note - While growing up my father always told me that people shot fireworks to celebrate his birthday. I'm not sure if I ever believed him - but he told us the same thing every year. He would have been 82 on the 4th. Happy birthday Dad!
