July the 1st is Territory Day (and this year it is the 30th Anniversay of self government)In the Northern Territory, it is the only day of the year when we can legally purchase,boot loads of darn expensive fireworks, and we are permitted to light them form 6.00pm till 11.00pm . Every year the night is celebrated at our house , ritual is all crackers are put on a huge table and you just pick one up go out to the designated area -light your cracker and then run for your life.....we usually have a couple of hours of lighting an assortment of crackers-then we rest for awhile and all have dinner and a yak....
Then jump up and back into the fun...we only had one minor mishap this year and YEAH-Yipee it was not me..nah truly Maddie it musta hurt when you got the wee burn-hope it's all betterah now..
Now just too show you all I was very safety concious Iwore my new boots..LOL...and
I sent my Daughter a pic on her mobile and she said "pwetty pwetty please I want them" so I told her let me wear them a couple of times and then I'll send them too you-like really how often would one wear ug-g boots in Darwin eh? But sure did crack everyone up when I walked downstairs with them on-and when I pointed out the safety feature of being able to see where I'd been ....LOL..
Cheers Vickie

Love your boots Vickie! Bet you Khris will want them!! We have designated fireworks lighters at our 4th of July party and we all sit around in a cirle in lawn chairs while they light them off in the middle of the street. Got our hoses running just in case!
hugs Karen
