4th of July was Explosive, Really!

Ok, let me put it this way... Nancy, Sherry, Tony and I bought a lot of fireworks, BUT... my cousin Jon bought more fireworks than all of us combined! We had all sorts of fireworks, small, medium, large and super large (mortars, you know like the ones you see on TV). Well, the whole evening was going just fine until... my friend Jessica accidently mistaken a mortar for a fountain and lit it on the ground WITHOUT a tube... KABOOOM!!! Sparks flew in every direction and at first it was all out panic! Jessica was blown to the street and we were trying to make sure everyone was alright, but after a few minutes we all started to laugh at what had happened (since everyone was fine). We seriously were lighting off fireworks non stop and still couldn't get rid of them all until the next day. Also, earlier that day we got to meet some of our distant relatives who live close by, but we were able to spend much time getting aquatinted with them because only just 10 minutes after they arrived, it unexpectedly started to pour down like we were in a full on storm, but it was nice to get to see them for the short time we did.
