And I’ll be honest—Utah suburbs are like a war zone on the 4th, so if I get the urge to see some explosions, I can just step outside and see all kinds of stuff.

For free and without danger of my garbage can going up in flames.

Last night we did drive to a local park to watch the Kaysville fireworks and after about two minutes I was bored. Between all the Independence Days, Pioneer Days, New Years Eves, Disney shows, BYU games—there isn’t anything really that novel about them anymore.

Although the city of Brighton puts on a fireworks show to celebrate the founding of their town and this past winter I was night skiing that particular evening. That was kind of cool to be skiing with huge fireworks booming overhead.
