In Oklahoma, GAK told us about a firework called a sky lantern. It is like a tiny hot air balloon with a flamable cloth wick and a paper (flame resistant) balloon. I found some at a fireworks stand in Claremore, OK and had to try it. We tried the first night, but it was too windy. The second night we launched 2 with great success. They go very far (several miles) and last a long time. It is VERY shocking that they are legal. I predict that next year they will be banned. But they were cool to try!

While we were waiting for the big Overland Park fireworks show someone in the crowd was doing fireworks illegally. They did one of the fire lanterns and it went up and got stuck in the powerlines above our head. I thought we all might die, but luckily it sailed off after a minute or two.
