Fun with Fireworks
In New York, it was against the law to play with fireworks in the county we lived in. Here in Washington, it is legal between 11am and 11pm only on July 4th.
So earlier this week Jennifer and I went to one of those fireworks stands that seemed to pop up at almost every parking lot in the area. Luckily the first one we went to was being run by some very friendly people. I explained to the guy that I was a fireworks newbie. He was very patient and spent quite awhile explaining everything to me.
I ended up going with his recommendation. I got the “Big Timer”. It was a package deal that came with a wide variety of fireworks. Plus he gave me a huge discount. I also picked up sparklers and some of those things that pop when you throw them on the ground.
The movie above is of Jennifer launching her first set of fireworks. I like when she says “Do I light it and run?”
Our neighborhood really gets into the 4th of July celebration. It was like a war zone. Every few seconds there were fireworks going off all around us! In the movie you can here them going off in the background.
It took a few hours, but when we ran out of fireworks we had some fun with the sparklers. I ended up getting some pretty cool pictures.
I had such a great time. I can’t wait until next year!
