We start them out young here in the South.
See the lighter, see the shell casing? They were putting the firecrackers down in the shell casing and lighting them. (Notice I am taking pictures and not stopping them)
They were all into doing this. They would light them and run.
The Young Pyro's, then all moved to the front yard. They had better adult supervision out there. (Yeah right! The adults were almost as bad as the kids.)
Oh they may look like they are walking up to me innocently, but no they had those popping things in their hands. They decided that it would be fun to pop me. :)
Yeah she looks sweet, but don't let her fool you.
This is where they got the bright idea to tie a bunch of fireworks together and light them at one time. Not so smart.....
Notice we have an adult lighting the fireworks....
I think Syd has the right idea.. You run away from the fireworks
Oh great here we go again!! This time the boys are gonna light them though. Boys they really are into blowing things up.
Speaking of blowing things up... See the cutie on the right side of the picture with the blond hair. The next day he thought it would be cool to put a firecracker down into a really ripe peach and blow it to smithereens. Peaches went everywhere!
Boys!!!! :)

Oh my gosh that is too funny about the peaches!
Why is it that fireworks + new ideas = B-A-D? I don't know of anyone that has done fireworks without having something blow up or catch on fire. Great memories!!!
It is so much fun being a kid down south on the 4th of July!! Henry had a blast last year!!
Have hidden fireworks left over for me -us-I mean the boys!
So what I like to set things off..just ask my husband.
Ha! I think I heard The Man and his friends exclaim that 4th of July is their FAVORITE HOLIDAY like 100 times last Friday. :) They blew up an arsenal of stuff.
What is it with you people and fireworks ? enough already, it wasn't even dark!
Valarie-
Thanks for taking time out to look at my headboard project! Love your blog. Somehow, I was the girl who always stayed as far away from the fireworks as possible!
Looks like they all had a great time. I would have been scared to death! Except I would have loved to have seen the peach blow up! Hate peaches anyway. I bet a tomato would explode good too!
That is so funny! I love the peaches thing..I can so see this happening with my nephew and even my older brother!
Let's see Iused to do dimb things with firecarkers as well. I mananged to keep all fingers and toes.
Hugs and blessings! that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
hahaha A peach bomb, I love it! Boys are little stinkers (girls can be too) and they LOVE anything that produces flame. I know what I'm talking about, trust me.
Great photos!
I am so sorry, but the peach thing had me just about wetting my drawers!!!
And, hello, what fun are explosions when the sun is still up. If you are gonna blow stuff up, wait till it's dark. Better cover for you to run away in and WAY better viewing possibilities!
C'mon now!!!
Thanks for your help!! Judging from the pics you must be the "fun" mom.
Walt got his start into pyromania by putting firecrackers in his matchbox cars!
