Hooray for Wyoming fireworks

So from my previous blog, you might know that I had some sparklers from Wyoming down here in Utah. One night I was talking to a friend about how I have this massive amount of illegal sparklers from Wyoming and how I had no idea what I was going to do with so many of them. He had this genius idea to build a sparkler tower. He came over on Tuesday, and we were playing around trying to figure out just how this was going to work. After he experimented with some things, we decided that if we tried to build a tower, we would lose too much of the sparkler stuff off the sticks so we just played around with them in other ways. He ended up bunching a whole lot of them together and we stuck it in the ground. The pictures aren't that exciting, but here is what it looked like before we burned it.

We each took four matches and held it at the bottom central point to light them. All of the sudden, it burst into this huge fireball. You couldn't even tell that it was a bunch of sparklers because the whole thing was this massive ball of flaming roundness. We both jumped back and were laughing so hard. Who knew? I wanted to get pictures of it, but I was laughing so hard that I couldn't. So if you want to try something very entertaining, go to Wyoming, stick a whole lot of sparklers together and light them. But I would probably recommend lighting them with maybe some longer matches.
