In the spirit of the 4th of July...do you go to see fireworks or just watch them on TV? You often get a better view on TV but it's just not the same as being up close and hearing and feeling the "crackle and boom". I rode my bike to our local fireworks last night and hope the rain lets up so I can see more tonight. Happy 4th!

I did watch the fireworks on TV this year wiht my daughter instead of going out to a display? I have a new 2 week old grandson and we thought the real ones might scare him, so we stayed home this year and watched on TV!

It definitely makes sense when you have little ones who would either be scared or whose bedtime is before the fireworks show.

Ya i have seen a lot of fire works directly but i may not be able to watch it live this time so may be i need to do it some time later. Anyways I also love watch the fire works during the new year season and it is Australia who Celebrates it first and they will do it very well, I had watched them celebrating New year couple of times. Anyways Happy Mylotting and Happy 4th.

I have watched them a few times on tv. It is better then getting bit up by mosquitos! Sometimes we go to the citys fireworks show but we will stay in the car to avoid the mosquitos and we don't have to spend any money on the fireworks that way.

We've watched them from our car too. That's true about the mosquitos...they love me. I was in my parents' backyard a few days ago for just 10 minutes and I got 10 mosquito bites...I was in agony.

no its not the s ame but for those of us who cannot stand for long p;eriods of time to watch the local fireworks it does stand in for the local one as we can sit and watch it and have some fun too.

I always go to see them. Watching them on tv is so whack and boring. Happy 4th everyone.

I've always seen bits and pieces of fireworks from my bedroom window until I got married and moved. We went to the beach to watch them and it was sooo much cooler to see a good view of them. Never even knew you could watch them on tv though...
