Saturday we went to Lander to see the fire works! The orthodontist there puts an amazing fireworks show every year. He also makes all of his own fireworks. He has the young men and women at church help make some of the fireworks during the year on some of their youth activity nights. He has a fire ball that goes off and is SO AWESOME!! You can feel the heat from it! He has it in his field next to his house and everyone is invited. He always does it July 3rd so it doesn't interfere with the town’s parade and fireworks the next day. The show started off with him lighting a wall of 50,000 fireworks. It was SO awesome! He also had infantry men at the beginning and the whole thing was narrated and put to music. The fireworks were all synchronized to the whole thing. Just when you think the finale happened you are wrong :) At times, there is not once ounce of sky not lit up! The show lasts about 2.5 hours...It is really worth your time if you ever get a chance to go!
My two sisters and their families met us there!
This is the field. We went earlier, but the whole hill was packed once it started.
People also watch from their cars on the side of the road. At the bottom of the hill is where he has all the fireworks set up so there is a roped off area where you can't cross onthe hill :) He does the whole thing by his computer he has set up outside.
He also serves strawberry, chocolate, and vinalla ice cream and watermelon
to anyone for free before the show starts. I LOVE the chocolate ring all the kids had on their faces!!
