The 4th of July has been an intricate part of Kyle's family's summer since he was a young boy. Kyle, Abe and Andy have amassed with other friends an impressive collection of both sane and insane fireworks this year. Little did I know what I was getting into when he first brought up the 4th of July to me during our first couple weeks of dating. Kyle and company have been working on their show each year for the past 6 years. They even sync it to music. As far as neighborhood fireworks go, it is quite a sight to see. They begin preparing for the 4th around January and try to stockpile as many fireworks as they can before summer even begins. This year, they pooled their money and received their shipment in the first week of April. Here are a few pictures to show what the guys bought.
Yuki, baby Alice and the pallet of fireworks. Yuki is not that short, the stack of boxes is just that tall!
Opening boxes. Christmas came early for the guys!

The guys still have a lot of planning and organizing to do but with 3 months until the 4th, I'm sure they will manage.
