The K Manuever

Ok...I typed this all out last night and couldn't get it to post. So here goes again.

The other night we were all outside (except Son1 who was still away at camp) setting off fireworks that L had brought with her from the fireworks stand. We set off some minor ones - fountains, spinners, etc then L gave myself, K and herself a good sized roman candle to set off. She lit hers, I lit mine and K lit hers. Just as L turned around to warn us that these were particularly powerful, K dropped hers due to the power involved. (These had 5 shots each in them). It spun around then set off its last 3 shots under both cars and towards the house. Of course all of us shrieked...then just laughed until we were done for the night. I could just imagine trying to explain this to the insurance agent..."Now what happened that caused both cars to explode? Well sir....K dropped her roman candle - it spun around on the ground letting off its last shots under the cars. And since the one had a full tank of gas..."

Last night when we set off fireworks we parked both cars over beside the barn - that way they were abit further away. And Son2 insisted on making sure that the hose was within easy reach also - just in case.

I'll write more another time about Shipshewana, Sauder Village and some of the other stuff we've done. Son1 is safely home from camp - he had a great time.
