Show No-No on Match esithenpii By Mary Gae Evans comes the 4th From our children's birth on up to around age 57 we try to teach our children never, never, to play with matches or fire of any kind, we get absolutely hysterical if we see them even look like they might pick up a match. Then, on the Fourth of July, we break our necks to get to the store to buy all sorts of exploding, sparkling, shooting, The holiday in Parowan was a big success including the fireworks disdav by the Parowan Fire Dept. They probably burned a few fingers too. being careful, wftft.'; ire' agaia We were so cautious about it on our camping rip last week.irj', '.' our marilM.rf(f--j.vi.'? flashlight, intea'O oi i " 1 , bonfire. v L . - .

We throw caution to the winds as we hand sputtering sparkling sticks to three year olds and set off flaming cones in the middle of our circle. Is it just my imagination or are the sparklers harder to light than they used to be? All of the adults in our group ended up with finger burns from trying to ignite those little goodies. Everyone waves them around making designs in the air and accidently poking their neighbors in the back, and a lawn mower is in trouble for weeks after with the ones that (in spite of all caution) end up on the lawn. But, it's fun even if we do have to let the kids play with a little fire. |
