Fourth of July

There's something about fireworks on the fourth of July that just brings out the little kid in everyone.  From the time the show starts to the time it ends, the fireworks capture the fullest attention of your being.  You follow the trail of the next rocket into the sky with the utmost concentration, not wanting to miss that magical moment when it reaches the top of it's heavenly climb and explodes in a wonder of color and shapes, followed closely by yet another.  When the show finishes in a climax of color and explosions, you find yourself exhaling, almost like you've been holding your breath the whole time, and on the way home, you playback all that you saw in your mind's eye.  Every year, we look forward to this celebration, and every year we go home with a smile on our face, and memories to carry with us.
