We can buy sparklers and a few that sit on the ground and sparkle and make a little noise but nothing big. It is alright for us too! Lots of people go to South Dakota or Wisconsin though because you can buy big ones there. The fines are big if you get caught with them but they do it anyways. We never go get them though. _________________________

chermoni chermoni Ballard Beaver! Dream Gardener Registered: 07/25/06 Posts: 3620 Loc: The emerald city	In Seattle and neighboring suburbs, fireworks are technically illegal. Other suburbs its not so they are easy to get. People have been lighting them off around here for over a week. We usually hear one or two a night. Even though they're considered illegal, the cops generally don't do anything about it. I've seen people light off bottle rockets and similar things from their front lawns with cops parked near their house directing traffic to where one of the fireworks shows. I think because they are so easy to get and there are too many people lighting them off that it's just not worth their time. However, you can go to any number if Indian reservations and buy the really illegal kind and they will bust you for those. The most common thing people go to the reservation for are the M80's. I actually think those are cool but would never take the chance on buying them myself. You always hear at least a few of those to off every year. We haven't decided if we're even going to bother to go see one of the shows this year because of Ashley's ankle. It's too crowded and someone might trip her on her cruthches. We might drive out to a quite area where you can see the fireworks. Last year Aros and I could see them from the Fred Meyer parking lot. The park where that show is is only a couple miles away, and that's the better show of the two. I'm going to be grilling hamburgers and corn on the cob that day and mostly we're just going to stay home and have a nice little family party. _________________________ Cheryl's Photobucket I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

Shirley4 Shirley4 Giggles Garden Helper Registered: 11/14/06 Posts: 24620 Loc: Cincinnati Ohio	Cincinnati is a city of hills...like Rome....and I can look out my living room window and see way below me toward the river. Every year they shoot off fire works from the river (a boat possibly, or a park down ther.) I can look DOWN on top of the fire works when they burst in the air!!, way off on the horizon. _________________________ The fragrance always remains in the hand that gives the rose.

JunieGirl JunieGirl Frogger Garden Helper Registered: 10/13/06 Posts: 11422 Loc: Worden, Illinois	Originally Posted By: JunieGirl Sine 2004 we have gone to my DD Valarie's house on the 4th--but this year I think they are going out of town so I don't know what we will be doing----probably nothing---Well of course Rod will grill I guess--and I will make the sides---(division of labor you know)--The question is will anyone else be here??? Well apparently my assumpsions were wrong.---First Mom called & asked that my DH & I come over for supper on the 4th and then she & I could go watch the fireworks in a nearby town. DH could either stay & visit dad or he could go home. --After we had accepted, I find out that Valarie was having a BBQ on the 4th after all.---Oh well--I guess I should be spending time with my mom & dad anyway right??? And the kid in me loves fireworks after all.
