Firework Fiasco

What happens when one leaves used fireworks on a dock over night? The dock starts smoldering and leaves a big hole in the morning. What's worse the burning down your sisters dock? Burning down the neighbors dock.

The family chipped in a lot of money this year and we bought the fireworks after 4th so they were 1/2 price off. This year the display was going to be a huge. After almost cancelling the fireworks because the wind was blowing the fireworks back over the cabin, the neighbors said we could use their dock and watch them on their yard. It was one the best firework displays we've ever had and when we were done we started to pick up but some of the boxes were still pretty hot so we asked if we could leave them on the dock to cool down. We should have just kicked them in the water and everything would've been fine.

So we spent a good chunk of Sunday fixing the dock. The entire time we were in MN it was sunny, except for Sunday, while we were on the dock it started thunder storming. It'll be a 4th we won't forget.

We had fun lighting them off that forsure, and no Kathy wasn't mad about it she just figured you should know what happen in case you wanted to help fix it which you did and thanks for that
