Default Las Vegas July 4th

My cousin's neighbor is a pyrotechnic of some kind and sets off a fireworks display every fourth. We all gather have some food, play in the pool, hang out, and once he starts we watch the show. Here are some shots from it.

My Father in Law pointing out the fireworks to his Grandson.

My Wife with our Nephew watching fireworks.
Jen Watching

My Brother in Law with his Son on his shoulders.
Baby Watching

My Sister in Law getting into the frame right when I pressed the shutter. It was an acident but I thought it looked kind of neat.

I particularly like the third one.

By the way. I guess one can do that sort of thing in the desert town of Las Vegas, but in most large cities in Texas, that'll get you a $2000 fine and possibly some jail time!

The third one was one of the first shots that I took. I just wish the tree wasn't there. I might photoshop it out later. That sucks about the fine, I wouldn't dare go to the big fireworks shows in Vegas there are all kinds of crazy people at them.
