Fireworks!!!!! and stuff.
Fireworks!!!!! and stuff. Yay, now I get to do a big rant. Yesterday we went to my friend's house. We had a good time, and oh! The neighbors blew up watermelons!!!!!!! It was SO COOL. They put a firework stuck into them. First there's a fountain of sparks. Then the sparks dissapear, and for a brief moment all is still. Then, with a resounding boom, the watermellon splits open, and a roaring fire burns on the remains for about ten seconds.
It was scary though. They lit all the fireworks with a flame thrower. My dad thought they might be LFUI. (Lighting Fireworks Under the Influence) Seriously, though because later they were putting off mortars three at a time, and so they were all touching each other. The result was, that when the first one went off it knocked over the one opposite it, which then shot straight across the culdesac. The first time it happened, it came straight toward me! It went about four feet over my head, but I was sitting down on a blanket. My dad was nervous and said he was ready to dive over a kid if neccesary.
But other than that... it was great! What did anyone else do for the fourth?

On the forth we went to our grandparents house (which was on a lake) to watch fireworks, but then it rained the whole night so we didn't get to see them, so we went to my friends house after that and watched them set off fireworks, at their house we also played kick the can, and jumped on their trampoline a bunch! It was fun.

Ummmm, it splattered in about a five-foot radius all around it. I think, I wasn't very close.

They EXPLODED watermelons?? CRAZY!! But it must have been fun to watch. I kind of like fireworks. One of my sisters is a complete pyro, and she LOVES fireworks!

Ok, it's very weird but my sister is also an Emily L. and she's 14 except she lives in Georgia. But's it's still weird.

Guess I never thought about if I had been standing up. Although four feet is an estimate. Those things go SO fast you can't really tell. It gets closer every time my dad tells the story.
