So last night we went shopping for fireworks. It was like walking into a carny scene in a movie. Well we decided on a few things and let the boys pick out ones that they really wanted. Yrahcaz really wanted to have a rocket one. Fine, only $2.75. Off we went.
This morning I wanted to light up the snakes. Yes I love those. At first the kids were screaming at me "Get back, Get back" and running away from me. I rolled my eyes at my kids and told them to just watch. They were enthralled by what they saw and we went through 3 boxes.
This afternoon my husband, Dahc, thought it would be a great idea to light off the rocket so we could watch where it goes and retrieve it. Then we could give the left over full intact rocket to Yrahcaz to keep. Dahc kept saying to Yrahcaz this is such a good idea and then you can keep the rocket because if we waited until night time we would not be able to see where it went. He was very happy with the idea. Off we went into the backyard. My husband, taking into account the direction of the wind, put the rocket in the ideal space so it would go into our field. Light it, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..... Off it flew. We could see exactly where it landed. Right in the middle of our neighbors corn field. Excitement and glee changed to wailing and crying. Yes it was a happy scene.
Inquiring minds want to know.....Was the rocket rescued from the corn field with no fire being started?
ReplyDeleteThere was no fire, but it would be very hard to find right now. They are about to harvest the corn, so we will go on an expedition after that. So perhaps a week or so.
