Is there anyone who doesn't enjoy a good fireworks show? We are thinking about driving to the Peaks of Otter tomorrow and joining a hike to the top. They start hiking around 7 and get to the top in time to see the sunset and see the fireworks shows all around for 100 miles. Then of course there is the hike back down.  The only drawback for us is we have to be up early Wednesday and if we do this we are looking at getting home around 12:30 a.m. So we may not go.

Regardless, fireworks are fascinating and sure to bring ooohss and ahhhhhsss from the watchers. So here is some information of what it is that we are oohhing and aahhing about!  First here is an article about how fireworks are put together! You will be amazed at what you find inside.

Wikipedia has plenty to say about fireworks!

I would like to encourage you to use great caution. It is preferrable to go see a fireworks show than to play with fireworks in your yard. Let the professionals handle the explosives and then you can sit back and enjoy the sites without a care in the world. Over 6,000 children are injured by fireworks each year. Be careful out there!
