Fireworks on the 4th

We were almost not going to do fireworks but the desire for bursts of flames and sparks beat out our safety side during a very dry season and so we compromised with only getting the “boring” firecrackers.  We let the neighbors give us a show and hoped that they had fire retardant.

I don’ t know why this child insists on going around topless in hot weather.  He didn’t even get a mosquito bite with all of that exposed skin.  Where I got at least 10, he was unmarked.

See the trusty hose?  Ready for fire and boy alike.

The ghosts of pyromaniacs!
