Yes, we celebrated the 4th of July (Also known as fireworks day) The first time T was presented a sparkler she ran off screaming, "I don't want to hold fire!" Last night she was much more calm about it and couldn't wait to do it.
While I got the big fireworks open, I gave each child a box of snaps (they blew through those way too fast). Then we did small, novelty noise makers (pull the string and POP) and a tank -- light it from the back and sparks fly out its back end, then it shoots out fire balls out the front, ending with a fire on the front of the tank. Then the fountains (start small and work our way to the big one). D, K, and L loved the whole show, while fire girl T hung back a little further away.
The big one....
Yes after all the small ones were done I got out our big fountain. It promised a firework show like what you see in the sky only smaller and close to the ground lasting for 95 seconds. I placed it in the middle of the street. It started out a little bigger than the others then had a huge climax sending T running inside crying (fire balls shooting into our driveway and the neighbors front yard). Definately bigger than I thought it would be. Once T was inside, I here from the doorway, "Bring L inside!"
I had wanted a really big fountain to finish off our little show, kinda glad I didn't get one, wouldn't want to start a fire. ;-P
