Seven-four-two thousand ten

Unfortunately, I forgot my real camera, so all my pictures from the Emerald Downs fireworks show on the third were taken on my phone, thus the terrible resolution. On the bright side, my phone has some functions my real camera does not, enabling me to do this:

On the fourth, we didn't have any fireworks, so Jason, Eric, and Dean shot shotgun shells at glow sticks. The theory was that when the glow stick was hit, it would explode. The reality was a little different.

As you can see, Eric is holding an intact glow stick (Yes, one. You might want to get that double vision checked out) and some glow stick pee and looks a little disappointed (and blurry) rather than excited. Lesson: Despite what the movies tell us, bullets rarely make things explode. Curse your lies, Hollywood!

But do you want to know what does explode? The guts of many pop-its while held in Eric's hands! So you see, we did have some fireworks after all.
 

I hope you all had a happy Independence Day!
