Every year we ruin my grandmother's roof with falling soot and her grass with burnt fuses. But we always have a really good time. But first, we eat.

There are no vegetarians in my family, obviously.

Explosions for the whole family!

Ooooh! Ahhh!

I love how my mom is looking up at some fireworks like a little kid, while the little kid, Casey (my sister's future step-grandaughter) just wants to get her hands on some sparklers.

Patrick twirling some sparklers around.

Looks like magic.

Casting a spell.

This one looks like a giant paranormal orb or a portal to another dimension or something.
