The annual tradition on the Fourth would include family, food, and fireworks. We spent the day with the Murphy side which is always a good time. The only downside would be the fact that, well, they live in Oregon. Now we LOVE Oregon, but there is this small little uh, law that they have--no fireworks that go in the air. Are you kidding me? Yay, let's light a match and watch it burn! Even so, we are law abiding citizens....or so I thought.
Uncle Scott opened his bag of LOOT which crossed the border in one Toyota Sienna with nary a passenger aside from the driver knowing that our car was doing a smuggling act. But boy were they excited!

But we were in good company as the neighbors too, managed to have illegal fireworks. Funny how that works. Here are the boys lighting the "legal" sparklers.

It never ceases to amaze me how excited these boys get over F-I-R-E!!

But then a funny thing happened.....why an Officer of the Law just sauntered around the corner and snuck up on good ol' Scotty. SURPRISE! While a little "conversation" was taking place I was still lighting up sparklers....

And the party came to an abrupt end. No handcuffs. No ride in the squad car. No citations. It was sure fun while it lasted. Did Scott regret it? Well, he is still on the lam......
