Going back a couple of days to July 3, Jeffery and Kristi had us go with them down to Idaho Falls for the 10 p.m. fireworks show which they said ranks as one of the very best, west of the Mississippi.

We found all the side streets crammed with cars and people by the hundreds, sitting outside along the streets, awaiting the show. We were able to find a parking spot on a little residential lane, north of the highway (US 20) just as the fireworks began.

This, I admit is not my photograph. By the time my little camera went into action my timing was always off. But, we did see quite a brilliant and lengthy (30+ minutes) fireworks show with multiple bursts of rockets of all types. It was a very nice evening. They had patriotic music playing on a radio station that was timed with the fireworks.
