A PRIVATE DISPLAY . . .  

this is the first time we have bought fireworks to shoot off our own.  the kids are older now and jay thought it would be something fun to do with them since we live out in a remote area.  it’s amazing how many places are around here selling fireworks.  kid you not, there are semi-trailers in fields with cows where you can go buy your stash.  i have to admit for the $16 he spent, he got quite a few different things.

the wind was somewhat of a problem.  it was difficult to light the fireworks and then it would blow the fireworks.  so we think we didn’t get the true effects because of the wind.

. . . it exploded and just left a pile of dust behind.  all the others left their casings fully intact, but not this one.
