Kaboom!!!

We had quite the amazing fireworks this year. Don had bought boxes of fireworks to shoot off. We started off watching a few different ones. The kids thought it was great. Madison and Abby lasted a little while but were so tired they went in and fell asleep. Blake and Hailey watched all the fire works until midnight. Yes they really lasted that long. Blake said it was the best day of his life.

Blake and some of the kids got to set a few off and then they played with sparklers.

We though we were all done. But, no, little did we know. We would all be sitting around the campground talking and all of a sudden Don would be gone and a huge firework would explode above our heads. Just like the ones communities put on. It was crazy! Then a few minutes later he would wonder back into the conversation. Then we would pull out another box and wonder away again. Blake could not get enough of it. He was laughing the whole night. Hailey put hours of video of it on her i pod.

Toward the end we were getting a little nervous because they seemed to get a little closer and more going off at one time. We send Todd over to check it out. Next thing we knew they were putting them in the trash as a cannon. Guess who's idea that was. The one we sent to protect us and the children.

By the end of the night the flag was still standing, everyone was safe and we got an amazing firework show!
