Traditions of July 4th

I love July 4th. Here in the United States, it's the day we celebrate our independence. Usually it's celebrated by a BBQ with family and/or friends, lawn games and then fireworks at dark!  And since we are Americans, we have lots and lots of food! My favorite quote is by funny man, Jim Gaffigan. 

Hahaha!! Makes me laugh every time! 

The fireworks are probably my favorite, especially the big loud boom ones that shake everything!! And today with the technology we have, people have developed fireworks that explode into shapes and stuff. For example...

I'm still not quite sure what some of these are, but pretty cool right, well it got me thinking, (I know, scary!) with this technology and the awesomeness of some people out there, we can have themed firework displays. 

How fun would it be to watch a firework display that had superhero logos or outlines? You could guess who or what the firework is!! Or even a starwars themed one. 

Seriously to be able to cater the fireworks to a theme or event, say a new aquarium opens and the fireworks are aquatic animal shapes! Pretty cool! So if your one of those awesome nerdy people who could make that happen, let me know, cause I'm on board!! 

Oh and to everyone celebrating the 4th of July, eat lots and have fun blowing crap up!! 

Happy 4th of July!!
