I <3 Fireworks

The 4th of July 2006 was pretty cool I guess, in the way that eating beef jerky during coitus is pretty cool. Ok, that's messed up and I am sorry you read it (don't pretend you didn't think about it though).

Point being, we lit the sky on fire. None of the videos will really give the scale properly, but consider this: in some of the shots I am pointing the camera at a firework that is several hundred feet in the sky, it still fills the whole screen, and there is no zoom. So yea, we had some big stuff.

And piles and piles of it.

Also, Adam's dad likes to put together a bit of a show, which is always a good time.

And there were lil things running around like this...I call it the annoyinator.

Anyhoo, the crowd gathers at Adam's house, and the fun begins.

Some of the hardware:

All in all it makes the exploding go.

They made for some purty pictures too.

Then for whatever reason Robby had his phone out, with this very site up and was reading the facts of life for some who were not enlightened. Upon reaching number 23, the one with the saltine cracker challenge, one of the girls there called BS.

This is her attempt. Listen to Bob, Bob is right.

It drew a few more people who wanted to give it a go as well.

Attempt 2

Attempt 3

Yea, there is no way to get a flattering picture of someone stuffing crackers in the hole.

Number 23 still stands. Anybody else?
