8,000 Firecrackers (and Michala stuff too)

We went to Saint Louis for the 4th of July and stayed at my Uncle-in-law’s house which is outside of city limits (which means all of the good stuff is legal) and thankfully my brother-in-law was in a spending mood which resulted in this lovely video of two (2) rolls of four thousand (4,000) firecrackers going off at once.  It gets a little slow in the middle but is worth watching to the end.

…and the aftermath…

Michala also had her first post-partum visit to the Zoo.

The next day we dumped Michala with the Grandparents and went to the Arch (no we didn’t go up in it (not enough time)).

My hat is off to Eero Saarinen on this one, well done old chap.

That’s about it.

Sounds like fun, we all need to spend the 4th together someday so that you and Jeff can blow stuff up :)

LeeAnn, we need to start saving money now! The next time Tim & Jeff get together for the 4th they'll want to spend a small fortune on stuff to blow up.

Nice composition on the shot with the capitol and arch in the background. Nice firecrackers too.

I commented before I watched the video, let me restate, Awesome firecrackers! Al least when they are going fast that is!
