Firecracker Fourth

The Junior Vacationeers were delighted to find out that they could play with fire on the Fourth of July.

They lit their sparklers from a candle
They created a lot of smoke
They were amazed to find that they were actually allowed to run with sticks and fire.
When it began to get dark we headed to the football stadium parking lot. Thousands of other people had the same idea. We sat around waiting for the action to start for hours. We watched the antics of other people's unsupervised children and listened to over-amplified sort-of-identifiable music from a band about a mile away.
The smart people came in after dark.

Finally there was a boom that shook the ground.

Finally! Fireworks!

oooh

aaah

BANG!

Happy Fourth of July to all!
