Happy 4th of July!

We had a down home 4th of July celebration this year at Ron and Janes. Craig and Brian took the kids to a couple of firework tents and bought loads of mild explosives. In true Arkansas fashion we abandoned all safety rules as my boys launched roman candles from their bare hands, my little girl lit her own smoke bombs and my two year old baby sat dangerously close to it all. We held our breath everytime a 'flyer' went into the trees or the neighbors yard. Bottle rockets flew every which way, and one of the roman candles exploded on the backyard fence! My favorite was the 'experiment' that Brian and Craig put together. They wanted to light a bunch of snakes in a bottle to see if they would grow out the top opening. It ended in a pretty loud explosion that consumed the whole bottle! I'm pretty sure this was our kids favorite 4th of July ever!





Good thing Craig is an Eagle Scout!
