4th of July

I think some where along 10 - 13 the 4th of July lost its magic for me. Well, wait, let me re-phrase that. Fireworks lost their magic. I just don't get the appeal of them. People send hundreds of dollars on colored gun powered explosion that last only a few seconds. And don't get me started on how the have ruined sparklers. They don't even spark anymore!! I think everyone would be better off going to see the big firework shows that are set to music and that last 30 minutes or so.

Anyway, this photo of the niece is the one I choose. It out did any of the firework pictures that I took :P
