Nearly 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 friend to come over to our house so we can all hang out for a while. Around midday my mom’s friend shows up at our house with her kids. Ages 5,3,13, the to youngest 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 swimming pool. All of the little kids were bugging my mom and dad about lighting fireworks. So about after an hour of bugging my mom she finally got fed up and just got out the ones that if you through them they will make a loud pop. Then around 5:30 my day got in the truck and went out to get some good fireworks. After he left we got out our bikes and started riding them up and down the hill.

Then when we started to get board we stopped riding and my dad came back right when it was time to start. But we had to save the colorful ones for later and so all we could light was Bobcats and Fire crackers. My dad went in and filed up a bucket of water and what we did was. We light the Bobcat and through it into the bucket of water it exploded and water flew everywhere. Then it was time for the fun part.

We started lighting the cannons. It became my turn and I light it but right when I did it fell over pointing straight at me I said to myself oh no… It started shooting of really fast the lasts hot came so close. I got burnt on my hand and it took a long time to heal anything I touched it heart my hand.

Then my brother’s friend told my brother that when you light a roman candle you don’t have to put it on the ground and watch it shot you can also hold it and shot. So his friend demonstrated. It turns out that he was holding the candle upside down. It shot straight at his foot so he immodestly dropped it. But the way he dropped it shot at mine and his mom and little ones. It was also shooting at our house. It didn’t hit them because he kicked it quickly. I guise it’s a good thing that none got hurt during the 2 things that happened that day. And that our house didn’t get hurt either.

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