We set off some basic stuff in our driveway. Started while it was still light, but it was reasonably dark by the end. Minifob is still talking about the "romo candles" and the "festibal balls." My stepson pranced around like an ice dancer with his sparkler, but at least he was willing to actually come outside this year to participate instead of hiding indoors. We all had on bug repellant, but the skeeters still ate us alive. Minifobette placidly imitated the noises that the fireworks made, especially the high-pitched screaming ones, but wasn't at all afraid of them, which surprised me. Overall, the kids had a good time and it worked out really nicely.
