Fireworks

The culmination of our July 4th with the Hodge boys was shooting off fireworks.  Since the boys are all old enough now to really enjoy fireworks, Steve purchased a variety for them to try.  I don’t remember all the types but they had a wide variety that kept them busy for about an hour and a half!  We burned a few at dusk and then finished them off after dark.  I had a great time taking photos!

Lighting firecrackers and then running….

Steve hung a long roll of firecrackers to a tree and set them off…

This was a little tank that moved when lit….

Following are time lapse photos of sparklers…we had a lot of fun with this!

It often took all of them to light the fireworks……

Following are the boys shooting roman candles…..

And Steve again hung a string of firecrackers to the tree for the grand finale.

We had so much fun with the fireworks.  We are thinking we might need to get some to celebrate the new year.
