Forty fingers and counting.....

Willard, MO, day three..... One thing my kids have never had the chance to experience is the exhilaration of celebrating the 4th of July, with a good-old backyard fireworks display.

Thanks to the fact that we live in an area where tinder is the state flower, drought is the state motto, and civil litigation is state's #1 indoor sport, southern californians are not allowed to purchases backyard fireworks..... Safe and sane, or otherwise.

Well in Missouri, where Americans are still allowed to decide for themselves how many fingers they possess, fire works are freely available. Kathie and I stumbled upon this "superdome" of fireworks.

Twenty minutes later we had $75 worth of pyrotechnic mayhem with which to impress the kids! More on this later!
