It was our bicentennial here in the FL Keys along with the July 4th celebration at our local park.  There was food, music, activities for the kids, and the WORLDS LARGEST KEY LIME PIE!  I got a piece, but the wife wouldn't eat it because she said she saw too many flies around the pie...

 

Great time that concluded with fireworks and a laser light show.  Not bad for a "small town".    To be honest, just before it got dark we went back to the house and watched the fireworks from our front porch with a couple of frosty cold adult beverages.

Oh man that's annoying. When we lived in Seattle it's legal so it's even louder. Some nutcase in the next neighborhood burned down an apartment building in a firework accident!

It was at 1am. It may not be legal here but there was one heck of a show out there.
