Roman Candle Wars!

The 4th of July evening was just as exciting, if not more, than the day. It started out innocent enough, with the kids doing sparklers and little poppers, then progressed into watching the bigger fountains and other fireworks.

But then... of course, Morgan pulled out his roman candles, and the wars began.
He and Kipp and Paul briefly discussed rules, and set up behind and around the garden. I was the videographer, and hid out in a semi-safe (I only got hit once in the elbow) spot... Here it is, roman candle wars a la Paul, Morgan and Kipp:
