A Night To Remember

The 24th of July wouldn’t be same without the Paul’s fabulous party. There is lots of great food, friends, and relatives.
Sometimes boys' can be really boring at parties. Good thing we had Brian to spice things up a bit

Brian’s fireworks show is always a hit. This year was exceptionally exciting. In our host's very own words he says, “My fireworks show had everything. Dangerous fireworks, first degree burns, and crying babies.” Wow, and we all lived to tell about it.

To be completely fair, I think it was only the first two rows of kids that were shot with shrapnel (well maybe shrapnel isn't the right word, but it best describes it), or received some kind of burn. And babies crying, I think it was only Millie. She didn't love the noise.

Grandpa Wayne seemed a little nervous quietly moving his chair further and further back. He got out his nifty safety goggles once things got a little out of control.

We were all seated when the fireworks began (bottom pictures). As sparks began to fly, the viewers ended up in neighbor's yards, or standing on rocks (see picture top left).
This video sums it all up. I couldn't decide whether it was screams of delight or screams of fear.
