A few more shots of the family fun...
Mandi is one of the holders (is that the right term?) for her cheer leading competition squad. We got to see a video of one of her competitions... They're good!New Year's Eve
Trust me, there's a safe distance between Scott and the sparkler Caleb is holding.
HOWEVER, I must say that danger did strike...
The guys thought they'd buy a rolling firework novelty... a Hummer that was billed as driving and then shooting out fireworks. (That's all that the description said.)
We assumed (logically) that for it to drive, the fireworks must be pointed out the back end (propulsion) and if anything shot out, it must be like sparklers out of the headlights, right? So, they guys set it up and lit the fuse... mind you, it was facing us at a distance. Thanks, guys.
Next thing we knew, it wasn't just rolling; it was rocketing toward us with the distance closing fast and the imminent threat of fireworks (what if they were mini roman candles???). I scooped Anna up from my lap and ran to the left, and Nanny pulled Ashley (or was it Mandi? My pregnancy brain fails me) off to the right-- all of us screaming.
Scott swoops in to rescue us by charging it and kicking it over onto its side so that when the fireworks did start shooting out, we'd be safe. All this in the span of about 3.5 seconds, start to finish...
Crisis averted. Whew. Drama ended... and so did the fireworks for the night...with a bang!

ReplyDeleteIt was scary for that split second, but we laughed really hard about it almost immediately. :)
