Going red white and blue for the 4th of July!! Question: do you prefer going to a fireworks show, doing small fireworks and sparklers at home, or just watching fireworks on the TV? I love setting off my own fireworks at home!
roxanne3 roxanne3

Going to a show, or watching just some fireworks that a neighbor or friend does. I've never actually set off any fireworks or sparklers- my parents have never been into that but I love watching them!!!!!
