On the 4th of July my dad always has to get fireworks to do. He says it reminds him of when he was in Guatemala as a kid.  My dad has this thing for fireworks, he gets so, like?  Well, let's just say he turns into a little kid like that every single year.  I kind of like it, but at the same time, he gets too crazy with them.  Two years ago he spent over 500 dollars on fireworks and he didn't regret it.  I remember he bought this stick looking thing call "Estrellita's" in Spanish.

This year was way different than the other years, he actually didn't spend as much! I was, like, wow :0, i was shocked, and i just couldn't believe my dad.  He ONLY got 10 fireworks, and little tiny thing for little kids and stuff.  I was, like, really? He never gets baby fireworks, or whatever.  We were all just confused. We didn't know what was wrong with him, we thought it was because he didn't have money and stuff. But we were mistaken, he did have money to buy fireworks like he always did, just that last year he got the best ones ever.

But we didn't know what was in store for us!  He bought the biggest, most, like, I can't even explain them! They were called rockets.  When you lit one on fire, it made a big BOOM!  Then the sky was lit with the most beautiful colorful lights ever.  It was just beautiful. I cant wait till the next 4th of July!
