The 4th of July couldn't have fallen on a more perfect day. We've been getting a lot of rain recently, so that meant that there wasn't a burn ban like last year PLUS it wasn't ridiculously hot like it normally is. The only downside to this was the fact that it was so muggy that the smoke from the earlier fireworks hung in the air and completely blocked out the grand finale at the show that I went to. :(
But there was another upside to the date that the 4th fell on - it was a Thursday! I know, who care's about Thursdays? Thursday's are boring days. BUT, with the 4th falling on a Thursday, that meant that the next day all the firework shops would have their discounts just in time for the weekend! Yup, Friday and Saturday nights were blaring with the sounds of fireworks, and I'm happy to say that my friends and I contributed to the disturbance of the peace. :)
Some of the best new fireworks that we had were "The Desert at Night," this little rocket thing, and a Tiki fountain. Of course we had the classics - mortars, "Jumping Jelly Beans," the "Bees," and what we've lovingly named "Rememberalls" (they're actually called "Wonder Balls," but they reminded us of Rememberalls from Harry Potter ^-^). Sadly, we weren't able to get our favorite, "What?! No Beer?!" They were all out. :(
So my question to you: What's your favorite firework?
And my challenge to you: Go to your local firework shop and stock up now while the deals are good!
