Just another note for July 4th:  Beth!  She was just off the hook with the pyrotechnics.  Even if the neighbors hadn't spent thousands of dollars on illegal fireworks and countless thousands more on various fines issued by the police and fire departments, we would have been wowed and entertained by her wild antics and daring maneuvers.  The trick in the photograph is known as "the rise of the Phoenix" and is a skill level that can only be performed by trained professionals.  Only let Beth try this at your home (do not attempt to do it yourself).
