Did you pull out your light on Independence Day?

I could imagine that many of the members here are patriotic and celebrate our Independence day.

How many of you went to the local park and enjoy the great fireworks show?
Did you get a chance to pull out your toy and prove yourself?

Let us know your experience.

My nephew turned 1 on 7/1 but we celebrated it on the 4th, and went all out with grilled food and drinks for the adults.
One of his gifts was this Cookie Monster flashlight, it's a 10" plastic Cookie Monster with a handle on his back. When you squeeze the handle, his mouth opens an he yells "COOKIE!" and a PR2 bulb lights up as long as the handle is held. My family were all asking if I was gonna steal it, mod it, change it to an LED, etc. Good fun!
My niece took it and kept shining it on people and yelling "It's gonna get you, gonna get you!" and was really entertained by it. Maybe she'll find a Little Mermaid light in her future now, she'll be 3 on the 29th.

I actually used 3 different lights, my wife lost her cell phone on the way out after the fireworks. I used my Inova AAA Bolt, my wife used my Ultrafire C3, and my father used our car C Cell Mag to backtrack the trail to find the phone.

I used a Pila GL3 w/ LF EO-9. I didn't exactly "show 'em off" because I was in the front yard by myself, lol.
