I scoured several stores to get the Smoke Bombs and Pop-Its he wanted. What happened to sparklers? There were none to be found anywhere, but luckily I had a few leftover boxes from the previous year.
We grilled out some cheeseburgers and hot dogs, and had our own celebration at home. Some folks across the street shot off some fancier fireworks (read illegal) once the sun set, so at least the kids got to see some fireworks! All in all, I think we made the best of it, and had some fun! I know I did! I hope you and your family enjoyed celebrating at home as well!
