But I no longer set off the big bombs that have the highest potential for severe injury.
Instead, I now prefer the quieter, prettier fireworks like big fountains.
They are a bit safer with children around, and still a lot of fun to be had in my opinion. Think of them as big sparklers for adults!
There is still a burn hazard risk, so we had plenty of water and burn ointment handy as a precaution.
When our supplies of kid-friendly sparklers and poppers ran low, it was time for our finale.
I had splurged and bought a bow of 'cake fireworks' that look like a big sheet cake with something like 200 shots set off by a single fuse. Pretty awesome...
What was magnificent was that others had joined us for the barrage in this spot and they brought even bigger cake fireworks which were set off minutes after ours were done.
One cake was the size of a medium U-Haul moving box!
I did not mind being one-upped by the size of theirs as I could sit back and enjoy the awesome show! Theirs flew higher with bigger bursts, but our group did acknowledge that mine had prettier colors. I would agree :)
