Something my family enjoys every single year is watching the fireworks during the 4th of July.
My kids are absolutely dazzled by the fireworks exploding in the air.
We love it when it gets really dark so you can clearly see all the beautiful colors of the fireworks. In our area, they have a really impressive show and the finale is always intense. I can’t even imagine how much money they spend on these firework shows, but they are always exciting to watch. One thing I always make sure to bring is a portable heater. It’s not always chilly outside, but sometimes it does get chilly and I always like to be prepared. I can’t tell you how many times that portable heater has come in handy. It’s nice when you have the perfect heating system even when you’re outside. We also bring mosquito repellent because I hate mosquitos. My wife always hates the smell of the mosquito repellent, but we both agree that it’s better than getting eaten alive by those spawns of the devil. When the firework show is over, we usually aren’t in a rush to leave either. We will often bring snacks and we will just relax for awhile until the place clears out. I don’t enjoy driving in traffic, even if I have the perfect temperature control settings in the car. It’s always peaceful when driving home when most of the people have already gone home. Sometimes, we even pick up our own fireworks and then we have our own mini firework show when we get back home which is always fun, especially for the kids.
