This 4th of July we stayed home. I did take the kids up to a Fireworks stand in the Yokes parking lot early in the day. Jack got the most, mostly because he had birthday money. It was a white man fireworks stand so the fireworks were expensive and not as fun, but it was better then nothing. Our neighbor Adrian also gave the kids some firecrackers he had leftover from last year. They spent about an hour in the afternoon shooting those off. They figured out how to blow them up a bucket of water, light them in their hand and throw them, and twist three or four together for a louder bang.
At night Jack got to light off his fireworks. He had SO much fun lighting them all. He said it was the best 4th of July of his life since he got to light off his own fireworks. Maybe next year we can get some good Native fireworks he can light!
