In the mid-1980's, Black Cats (fireworks) were placed in my hands and an explosive history was ignited! I spent New Year's Eve and Fourth of July holidays with my cousins popping fireworks in Harlingen and Primera, Texas. We would drive on caliche roads to the nearest fireworks stands and fill those brown paper bags with smoke balls, tanks, bottle rockets, satellites, M-80s, and more.
Fatherhood provides an opportunity to relive some of my childhood experiences. I explained to my wife how much fun I had growing up with fireworks. We agreed to let our daughters try it out for themselves to see if they liked it. Our girls were timid at first, but with the proper safety and supervision they now look forward to fireworks twice per year.
Shopping for fireworks has changed! We now drive on paved roads to a nearby fireworks air conditioned WAREHOUSE and purchase by credit card. Some of the girls favorite fireworks include: tanks, smoke balls, sparklers, satellites, swords, and jumping jacks. I bought a pack of bottle rocks for myself. Dad has to have fun too!
Have a fun and safe Fourth of July holiday!

As the kids age..the bigger and more expensive the fireworks become.
