Yay! Fireworks near my house on Canada Day!

Somehow the 1st of July is much better than the end of June like they did last year. (It's almost always the Thursday before the 4th of July, so sometimes that's the 3rd of July, sometimes it's the 1st of July, and sometimes it's in *June*.)

The title of my post is blatantly ripped off from this post two years ago.

Last year's fireworks were scheduled for July 2, but postponed to July 9 because of thunderstorms.

Nothing says "celebrating the Declaration of Independence" like a funky set from Booty Vortex!
