Nerly 9000 people get injured dealing with fireworks each year. We all know when your dealing with fireworks you have to be carful. Even the smartest people make mistakes dealing with them. We were all in a hery trying to get ready for my moms frend to come over to our house so we can all hang out for a while. Around mid'day my moms frend shos up at our house with her kids. Ages 5,3,13, the to yougest came out back to swim with us in the swimming pool. While there mom and dad and our mom and dad were cooking dinner.

It was a little darker when i got out of the swimmingpool. All of the little kids bugging my mom and dad about lighting firworks.So about after an hour of buging my mom got fed up and just got out the fir woks that if you through them they will make a loud pop. Then around 5:30 my dai got d went out to get some good fireworks after he left we got out our bikes and started rideing them up and down the hill.We started to get bord so we stoped riding and my dad came back right when it was time to start. But we had to save the colerful ones for later and so all we could light was Bobcats and Fire crakers. My dad went in and filed up a buket of water and what we did was. We light the Bobcat and through it into the buket of water it exploded and water flew everywere.

Then it was time for the fun part. We started lighting the connons. Ten it became my turn and i light it but right when i did it fell over pointing straight at me it shot... It came so close I got burnt on my hand and it took a long time to heal anything i touched it hert my hand.Then my brothers frend told my brother that when you light a romen candle you dont have to put it on the ground and wach it shot you can also hold it and shot. So his frend deminstrated. It turns out that he was holding the candle upside down. It shot straight at his foot so he imedeitly droped it. But the way he droped it shot at mine and his mom and little ones. It was also shoting at our house. It didnt hit them because he kiked it quikly. I gese its a good thing that none got hurt during the 2 things that happend that day. And that our house didnt get hurt eather.

Now when we look back at that day all we do is lagh and think how silly he was for trying to hold it in his hand.We know that he will not do that again.
