Fireworks

N O I S E is the chief goal with New Years fireworks. Yes, there are skyrockets, but the louder the better.

We added our two cents with this roll of 3000 firecrackers--and a very short fuse--good for nearly two minutes of popping and banging.

The box below was part of the fun for the Wong family. You just light the fuse and an array of skyrockets go off one after the other. Fun!!

Two-year-old Iona was OK with a sparkler, but her mother took her into the apt. foyer to watch the really loud ones from the window.
