We had a wonderful forth of July!!! We always go to my aunt & uncle's cotton farm. It's a perfect get-a-way to the country. We eat, play games, and relax, then eat some more. Once it starts getting dark, Mark starts setting up his firework show. He usually has something bad happen to him. One year, fireworks chased him. One hit him in the chest & knocked him on his butt. He wasn't burned, but a smoke ring through his shirt. This year, the lighter was bad & kept burning his fingers. Also, he lights a couple at the same time, one had a really short fuse & went off before he got out of the way. His ear rang for a long time & had he had trouble hearing! But other than that, the survived. lol The kids love watching all the beautiful fireworks. The state bird, the mosquito, are really bad out there! We all had a great time, as always!
