I Adore Pyrotechnics

I love the Fourth of July. You get the day off work (and this time I got paid for it!), no hassle with buying presents or anything, and a good excuse for a bbq and homemade ice cream. This year we made it even more low key by ordering pizza and buying ice cream. Then we walked down to Sugarhouse Park for fireworks. We almost made it before they began, but ended up on the lawn of a Korean Presbyterian church near Highland High. I don't know why I always try to take good pictures of fireworks. It just never captures it right. But I still kept trying.

Afterwards, we played with sparklers in the front yard.

Luckily, I get to pretty much repeat this holiday again on the 24th. I sometimes get annoyed hearing all about the pioneers. I mean, what have they done for me lately? But then I remember, another paid holiday and fireworks. That's good enough.

Nice photo. Do you post the full-size ones to flickr or somewhere? Posted by: BEFore at July 10, 2007 11:39 AM
Thanks! No. I should, though. I just never get around to it, and I use photoshop to resize and put on the border. Posted by: katie at July 10, 2007 05:45 PM
