The Fireman and the Fireworks

We love the 4th of July around here. Most of all, we love what happens after the last firework has fizzled out.



My husband is a fireman. A hottie fireman at that. He is pretty good about practicing safety, he goes to schools and teaches children all about fire safety. He is our Neighborhood Watch Block Captain, he is in our city's public service announcements regarding the Fourth of July and illegal fireworks.

He is all over it.

But something happens to him when our friends are around on the 4th. A few years ago, they prodded him to do a crazy stunt with some sparklers. 2008 marked his third year of this crazy, yet much anticipated stunt.
Here he is bringing out the ladder which will turn out to be his starting point.

Next he takes our huge rake that all of the other men taped sparkler to and proceeds to have them lit.He then rides up and down the street on his unicycle parading around like he is the Grand Marshall of Patriotism.It is quite a sight to behold. Really I could not have asked for a more comical husband than this guy. Maybe we should call him Old Glory!
