This year was really quite. During the day, Lance was gone to a car show with some friends and I was at home busy cooking and watching kids. So pretty much a normal day. Then our family came over around 5 for some ribs and potatoes, some swimming and fireworks. We had a great feast. Thanks everyone who brought something! It really helped me out.
We let the kids stay up late to see the fireworks. They didn't get to bed until 11p.m.. It was way too late, we won't be doing that again. They had been excited about this ever since we saw they firework tents set up. They each went down and bought some of their own and just loved that.
My brother-in-law Jason was in Yellowstone 2 weeks ago and bought some illegal fireworks while there, so he brought them to light up. Since everyone around us was doing them we decided it would be ok seeing that the police would have a hard time identifying who was doing them because everyone was.
Our neighbors that moved in over the field from us, we call them, the pool nazis, anyways, we waited until them came and went to start them. Since she calls the cops on literally everyone who steps foot in the pool we thought she would call the cops on us for having illegal fireworks. Well we decided to do one or two while they were there. The first try was awesome. It was huge and incredibly loud. We LOVED it! Then the second one came and the tube that it sits in blew up so the firework didn't go up but out sending sparks into the dry brush that was near our home. Jason walked away and behind him we could see some flames starting. Yes, a litte fire started so everyone rushed over to put it out. Sorry I didn't that one on camera. We were all sitting worried that we were going to be busted that the neighborhood was going to light up. But thankfully it was put out.
So we questioned whether to do the rest of not and we continued to do them and they were awesome!!! Thanks Jason for brining those. They sure made our night.
After we were done we just sat in the street watching everyone else's fireworks. They were great! It was a good show!
We hope your 4th was good too. Here are some pictures from our evening.
