I love fireworks. There it is. The boom, the colors, especially the choreographed music. I've seen them in my backyard growing up (that doesn't happen anymore!), the Arcadia park, Monrovia city sponsored, Rose Bowl, Mammoth, Bridgecrest (best and funniest show so far), Bern Switzerland and La Cresenta.
For the past couple of years, I've also been going to the parade in Sierra Madre, CA. Small town where everyone knows everyone. My brother has an office right on the route, so I'm in charge of the bagels, others bring bloody mary's, OJ, sweet rolls, fruit, etc. and we all claim a spot in the shade and just enjoy the company and the parade. Now every year the end of the parade is the Volunteer Fire Department's trucks full of water and a water fight between the SMFD and the parade watchers. This year there is a new Police Chief in town, and shockingly NO WATER FIGHT!!! WTF. That is what makes the entire parade worth while, especially when it is 95 degrees F in the shade and you've been downing the Bloody Marys.
Gotta lot on my plate today, gotta go.
