Best Fourth Ever

3 years ago on the fourth of July my family and I were at my aunt and uncles house to celebrate. Then once it started to get dark we decided to start shooting off fireworks. So we started with bottle rockets and those were going well but it didn’t satisfy us so we moved on. So we got some bigger rockets to shoot off and they were good and all but they still weren’t big enough. So we found a couple of mortar shells and thought that was going to be the kind of bang that we were looking for. But once we got going the mortars were kind of wimpy.
So we ran home to see if there was anything that could make the night any better. And then we saw it, a huge mortar shell from when my dad was in college. It’s equal to a stick of dynamite and doesn’t emit any sparks or colors it’s just an explosion. But the problem is we couldn’t find a tube big enough to shoot it out of. So after a lot of looking we found a leaf blower tube that was only an inch or two too big and thought it would still work.
So when we get back to my aunts and uncles place we realized we needed something to hold the tube down so my uncle comes back with a cinder block. So we place the tube in the cinder block and grab the mortar and place it down inside of the tube and make sure people are behind something just in case. So then we light it and just jogged back to cover. That’s when we saw the flames shooting out of the tube which meant that the mortar flipped upside down somehow. So at that point we just start to book it, and then a huge bang followed by the sound of breaking glass.
 After the shock of the size of the explosion had passed there was a lot of damage caused by our stupidity. In all we broke 8 windows on my aunt and uncles house, two back widows of my cousins cars, cinder block was demolished and mail box dinted in and has holes in it. But in all it was one of the most memorable fourth of Julys yet.
