Man i had the best time tonight. We went out to Jenny's parents house for the 4th. Now i am not a patriotic person, but any excuse to get together with family, eat, and blow stuff up is cool with me.
Jenny's brothers always buy ton's (and i mean probably a few hundred dollars worth) of fire works. Now usually being a dad and all i try to be very cautious in my life but the 4th is a time to risk life and skin to entertain the kids ( there were i think 9 there.) I even caught the mulch around a tree on fire once.
The only time things got scary was when a rather large firework broke in half and instead of launching just blew up on the ground. I was next to it trying to light a mortar when i heard a "SHOOP" and saw it burning on the ground. I ran as fast as i could toward some of the older kids (who were closer) to act as a human shield but it blew before i could get to them. Thankfully no injuries and the kids loved it.
Now i type here with burnt fingers, eyes stinging from ash, and smelling like gun powder, very happy.
