The 4th of July is finally here. It seems like just yesterday that it was Christmas and we are already past half way for the year. So nuts. This year I am working on the 4th but it is all good. Nonetheless, the 4th of July always brings up fun memories for me. Most of those memories consisted of food... food... and more food. Other memories, which are equally as fun, fireworks...fireworks... fireworks. I don't know about your family, but my family has always fired off fireworks and most of the time something bad happens. I remember one year, my brother practically emptied his savings account and bought enough fireworks for the whole state of Texas. I particularly remember a big one that he bought that year called the Giant. I don't know why they sell huge dangerous fireworks to little kids, but they do. Anyway, to make a long story short. We had to rig up a board to screw this contraption down to ensure that it wouldn't move during explosion. Well.... after the long awaited countdown, it exploded off the board, forcing the firework to fall over with one shot still left to fire off. AFter it fell over we all ran not knowing when the other one was going to fire off. Then without warning, it shot off... slamming into the neighbors bright white van. Needless to say.... it was AWESOME! Well I hope you enjoy your holiday. Go celebrate and don't do what I wouldn't do.
Here is what it may have looked like
