Fireworks

Heath loves to buy his own fireworks to do for the Fourth instead of trekking out into the crowds to watch a fancy display.  This year half the neighborhood gathered as the dads played with fire.  I'm pretty sure they enjoy it the most.  Notice the baby gate at the end of the driveway - safety first!


Hunter got to hold a roman candle as it shot off.


We even had PVC holders for the bottle rockets and a blow torch to better light them with.



I tried my hand at some fireworks pictures this year.  I read a few tips and went out with my tripod.  It would have been much easier at a fancy show somewhere, but I was just photographing our store bought little fireworks.

Sparklers were fun!

I think this was a neighbor.

And this was the fanciest one we saw all night.

It was fun, but I'd love to try again at a show with lots of big, pretty ones.
