Part of summer memories always seems to include watching fireworks. I remember many years as a child packing up the station wagon with blankets, bug spray, treats, and our family as we headed to the nearest fireworks display. A vivid memory was when we moved on to a lake and took the pontoon out and parked on the water because all the local fireworks displays were visible from our spot on the lake. As years went on more and more pontoons followed our lead and there were MANY of us Oooing and aahing. Happy Summer everyone!
Just an FYI: Not all of these fireworks displays occur on the 4th of July so keep it in mind as a resource as we go through the summer.
