I had not expected to see fireworks this evening. My suburb cannot afford to put on a display (in all honesty, I'm thankful they didn't try; there are other matters that should be higher priority). The neighboring suburbs with displays have them on other days. And, the closest I get to seeing the downtown display is watching part of it on TV.
However, I did see fireworks this evening. Presumably illegal fireworks (on account of it being illegal for the general public to set of fireworks in OH) were visible from the front lawn. Mom pulled out some lawn chairs and we watched while my youngest sister tried to catch lightening bugs. We were glad that the display was coming from far enough away we could watch without worrying about the safety issues. Mary was confused by the concept of "illegal fireworks" and asked if it was okay that we were watching (which I found amusing). We couldn't decide if the fireworks were being set off in a backyard or the nearby industrial parkway. Even now I can hear some type of fireworks being set off.
So it has been an interesting holiday.

We didn't see any fireworks. We could here them all night, but it was too hilly to see anything.
If we'd been in Indiana we'd have seen plenty since they are legal here, and we can see the city display from our house. But we also wouldn't have gotten any sleep.
Dad was going to sleep out in the tent Wed. night, but had forgotten that fireworks were legal this year. We decided that inside with air on was much quieter. Our neighbors had some very impressive fireworks though. Quite big and pretty. We sat out in lawn chairs to watch. We had sparklers and a couple of other things, that weren't very impressive. We had a good laugh at setting ours off and then watching the much bigger display. it looked like they were mocking ours.
