Well, we all survived another fun Gourde 4th of July party involving many unSAFE and inSANE fireworks.
Nothing like tweens and teens running around with propane torches to keep you on edge...here they were blowing up some kind of water bomb. They had already blown the bottom out of one bucket.
We had two tables of "31" going. Somehow, I got to play with a table of crazy kids, several who were trying to cheat, too. But I manage to win, despite almost having a heart attack when Dan shot off his cannon in the middle of the game. The game was delayed while the kids laughed and laughed at how loud I screamed.
Rielee was braver this year and lit many little fountains. The boys had a lot of morters, most of them very loud. The most excitement was from a Chinese hot-air balloon thingy Mik brought, which floated right into the fir trees between our house and the Dolans...fortunately it burned itself out and fell to the ground before it lit the trees on fire! That was a little too much excitement for me!
