huzzah for the red, white, and fire!

Washington State + legal fireworks = Awesome!

Neighborhoods go all out on 4th of July up here at my brother and his family's place in Renton, a suburb of Seattle. If all the beautiful trees weren't in the way, you can see fireworks all around you, really all around. I haven't seen so much fireworks in the sky, especially some that had Mt. Ranier as the backdrop.

To add more excitement, one of the fireworks we lit up tipped over and shot the lights into the garage and into the neighbor's. The one in the garage started a fire when it hit a roll of burlap. Good thing we all freaked out enough to react and extinguish the possible disaster. Definitely one to remember.
