3rd of July "Testing"

So i think we all know my Dad. My dad and........Fireworks. This year, we decided to go down to the National Mall in D.C. to see the fireworks show. That was the plan up until yesterday at about 11:00am. I mean how could we leave our neighboorhood and not put on a Fireworks SHOW? So heading down to the mall had been the idea for this 4th of July since people started talking about the 4th. Buuuuut, we couldn't leave our neighboorhood and friends dangling, because they all depend on US to give the "best show around".

So YESTERDAY at 11:00 dad drove to the Scout Camp, picked up Quinn and Barrett from camp early, drove back home because he forgot his Premiere V.I.P. Card (in other words, Privileged Member Card, because he's spent so much money on fireworks there, they finally gave him a discount and special deals card)to PHANTOM FIREWORKS

(http://www.fireworks.com/)

(pretty much everything you'll see on the site....he's bought). You will understand WHY we have so MANY fireworks because the V.I.P. card allows THIS:
PHANTOM® PREMIER VIP CLUB membership entitles you to purchase all your fireworks at Phantom on a BUY ONE GET ONE FREE* basis all year round. This applies to all fireworks products - no limits on quantities

So he drove 2 hours to Pennsylvania to get a TRUCK load of Phantom Fireworks with Quinn, Barrett, and Sara and then drove 2 hours back (not to mention all the BAD traffic they hit).

When they got home Dad started unloading all the fireworks so FAST that i never got a chance to take a picture of the back of our car....dot dot dot......








After we unloaded we GENTLY placed all the fireworks on a table, well Dad couldn't help himself, he HAD to try a few of them.....(i didn't get pictures of dad actually doing the big ones, but i got pictures of us doing some of the fun little "toy" fireworks.)
