This year, since Caitlin is a bit older, we decided to buy some fireworks. {Brian ended up spending the whole time in the "tent" (the fireworks store) saying he couldn't believe how expensive everything was!} We ended up buying some "snakes," sparklers, a few fountains, and some crazy twirler things.
Caitlin was having fun with the sparklers. I didn't know that they didn't make those wire ones anymore. Apparently, they are too dangerous. (Isn't fire/fireworks dangerous in general?)
It seemed to take forever to get dark, but finally twilight arrived. We all had fun with the sparklers in the front yard. 
Here is Caitlin standing behind the "snakes." They weren't that impressive to us, but Brian said they were to little kids (ha, ha). 
My favorites were the fountain ones. They shot up into the air (but not more than 6 feet), and then crackled a bunch of times at the end. (Can you see us through the firework?)
We had fun, and now Caitlin seems to think we can just go buy and shoot off fireworks any old time! She really loves her holidays!

Coeur d'Alene has a great fireworks show. Joe was at Boy Scouts Camp and Daniel was carousing with friends so just old people at home = mellow. It was a couple of days later that Daniel shared how to put a firecracker in a hole in a can and then that can in an inch on water to send the can up high with the bang.WOW
