4th of July Evening Fun!

July 4th was a success for us! The rain came early afternoon, poured for awhile, tapered off. Stopped for awhile, came again, pittered about after 8pm, but not too much, by 8:30pm I was setting off some fountains.

By the time the sky was darker we had no rain and were able to get all our major stuff up. We didn’t send up all our re-loadable mortars, but all the cakes were used. There are also Magic Crystals and a fountain or two left.

I used Live Free or Die and Vapor Trails together, and it was phenomenal!

I used a Sea Sparrow and 100 Saturn battery in conjunction with God of Fire, but the two little ones all blew out at once, weird. I had them setup right. I lit them properly with a punk, one after the other. By the time I got the God of Fire lit, the two little ones were done.

They are supposed to last a decent amount of time, they both blew their loads the same. Weird. So God of Fire was alone and I guess I’ve never seen it solo before. It really likes to have other things with it.

I used Preemptive strike with a Red, White and BOOM! … super nice together. I would have put off two of the RW&B but I couldn’t get it done, so I put the other one up when the first two were done. It’s a sweet little box. One of my favorites we get every year, at least two, usually more, but only two this year.

We sent up the Crown Brocade Classic box alone. It’s lush and gorgeous, all golden wonderfulness. God of Fire would work well with it, as I have done before. It was nice to see it unadulterated though.

Other things were nice. Those above were the highlights. It was so much fun!
