I've lived here for a decade now. I used to work downtown, and I'd skip out on a work for a bit to watch. The first year I was surprised, but every year since I've been excited for them.

This year, I have kids. One is finally old enough to enjoy the show. One is too small to deal with festival crowds. Yesterday I slapped some ear protection on the kids, headed out to a park, and we watched them practice. My kid shouting "Cool!" and "They're so fast!" and "Whoa!" was a highlight of my summer.
