Yesterday was July 4, which meant fireworks! Of course we’d already had a pretty good ‘show’ last Sunday, not to mention letting the odd ‘cracker’ off here and there over the last few weeks. In short: a fortnight of fireworks!
We drove to NH a couple of weeks ago to buy some since they are cheaper there and you can get ‘launchers’ which aren’t legal in NY state, and between than trip and the ones we had bought locally we had a couple of hundred dollars worth to set off. This was 60+ fireworks, most that look like this pre-firing:
Some are slightly exotic, like those that ‘light up’ via cellophane ‘windows’ at the front:
Or the hand ones, very creatively named:
We even got – for the first time – some ‘smoke’ fireworks. We learned that in Vermont these are all that is legal!
As I said we had a great time setting these off the past few days. Lots of sparks and pretty colours and loud noises! Cracker night is every bit as good as it ever was!
As I have the past few years I’ve made a video of some highlights. I hope you enjoy it 🙂
Great fun!
