Where are you going for Fireworks celebrations tonight?
 

Last night was kinda like the the 4oJ for me... went to Parental units house and collectively we blew about 100$...

good times.

Tonight we are going to Shawnee Mission Parkway for an action packed 15-20 minutes of oooh-aaahh.

Where you going?

EDIT:

Next year I want to be in an airplane flying OVER the fireworks. that would own.

Going to sit on a high hill outside of town and look down on the action.

I always thought you had a God complex...

we live on a golf course and every year the Country Club has a fireworks show just for us. :)

Im in DC for the fireworks!!

Just got home from a BBQ at dad's. As soon as I hear the fireworks start, I'll probably grab a beer and a chair and sit out on my patio. I'm in Springfield, but outside city limits. Had quite a fews shows last night. I figure tonight to be even better. Happy 4th everyone.

There is a fireworks display about 1/4 mile away from my house.......at dusk, I'll step out the back door, crack a beer and sit on the patio.

Front row seating from my back porch.

my favorite place to see fireworks has to be over a body of water...

consuming lettuce?

Nowhere, at 49 and with my kids all being in their 20s really what is the point, it is not like we will see something new.

I probably will tune into the Boston Pops and enjoy the music while watching their display in the harbor.

I just sat ouside for 45 minutes watching 4 unsupervised 7-10 yr old kids throwing bottle rockets directly at each other. While they were busy play "betcha can't hit me" the "adults" (drinking and looking to be in their early 20's at the oldest) were setting off the big fireworks in the road. I thought about calling the cops, but I just figured I'd keep an eye on them from afar and have my phone handy to dial 911 if needed. I think they ran out though. We live about 50 yards away from a fireworks stand. I think they went to beg the older kids to go buy more. Ugh!

Other than playing babysitter from a distance, I watched several little displays going on around me. I can still hear them going off.

Signal hill. Go there every year. Great view for fireworks all over the city.

Watching the neighbors set off theirs.

Just got back from watching the Gladstone concerte and fireworks show.
For a small town they put on one hell of a good display.

Parkville

Signal hill sausage party....heh. ;)





FTR, jk....heh.

I went to my lazyboy and watched a movie that had nothing to do with fireworks or 4th of July!

Date with Rosie Palmer, eh? :p

Skipped it this year...I'm not really into the 4th of July.

Fuggin' Commie.... :harumph:

:p

Sorry. I'm not very patriotic. Probably because I wasn't born in this country and I was taught not to participate in patriotism.

But I loved Independence Day and The Patriot.

wow. I listened to Iowanian and Skip... because I live on a high hill... and I saw 6 different huge fireworks displays... heh. Near 95th and Metcalf... on a huge hill.

Awesome. Rep for you two for inspiring my laziness, it turned out much better this way.

Didn't have to go anywhere. A batch of insurgents brought the fireworks to us. Nobody hurt though on the "good guys" side, so all in all it was a good time had by all (except the insurgents).

We're lucky though, we get fireworks often, ya'll only get them around the 4th.

God bless you and thank you. [/seriousness & sentimentalness]


So, when do you get your pie?

The best part of active duty was "free" toys to "play" with.....heh.

Thanks for your service. :clap:

I still hear someone out there setting some off.

We got the cops called on us. For good reason, too, as our mad scientist creations were essentially weapons grade explosives. One of which we set off in someone's front yard. (They deserved it, though)

In an amazing feat of skill/stupidity paying off, we all escaped/ran away from sucessfully the clutches of the man. Great night.

You live on 95th and Metcalf? That's really close. We need to smoke some sometime this week. I have a little left.

Don't you think its a little weird hanging out with someone 12 years your senior and toking?

No.

In what country were you born? And when did you come to the US?
