Now I know why I like it when my family goes over to somebody else's place for the 4th. They have a bigger field (which just happens to be wet from recent t-storm downpours) to shoot off fireworks, and a kid as reckless as me. I mean, there's some dumb stuff I wouldn't mind doing, but I can't do it with my dad or younger sister. But my friend was willing, so we did some crazy stuff with fireworks.
First, we had these weird things called "Whips" or something. They were pretty much long fuses that you were supposed to lay down on the ground and light, and as it burns it shoots off sparks and all. But when its over, nothings left to hold, really. (Oh, and you're not supposed to hold 'em anyway) But their whips, so we had to hold them in our hands somehow. So we tied them to some wood stakes and then went running like crazy with this things flashing off behind us.
And then there were the Roman Candle wars... I've been wanting to do those for a while. Note, while I didn't aim directly at him, a few of his came a little too close for comfort... like right next to my foot!
Nobody was killed, burned, or mentally scarred for life, so it was all okay. But it's tradition in my old scout troop for us to be pyromaniacs (oh, and his dad was our old Scoutmaster... and my friend was actually my ASPL when I was SPL). So, you know, just another chance to BURN STUFF!
We're already planning for the firefights next year.
