This was taken from my backyard just before sunset.
These are some of the firecrackers we played. They are not the "real thing" but a wonderful invention that we have come to enjoy. These sound almost like the real firecrackers, but less rubbish to clean up afterwards.
These are various novelty fountains my son enjoyed lighting. They emit sparks, they make loud ear busting noises and plenty of smoke.
Some of these fountains last for about 2 minutes.
In Hawaii we are allowed to purchase novelty fireworks and play them safely. Real firecrackers can also be purchased but inorder to do so, one must obtain a permit which allows you to purchase 5000 firecrackers. Each permit cost $25.00. It can get costly if you want to play more than 5000 firecrackers.

dear vegas,
thank you for sharing such wonderful pictures of your New Year celebration. The firecrackers looked so much fun eventhough I will probably be scared of the sparks :) Love the sunset picture, Hawaii is truly beautiful.
I hope you and your family a very prosperous and healthy 2008!

Hi Dear Vegas,
A belated Happy New Year! Wow, you son is very creative! You guys/girls must have a ball with home-made son-created firecrackers firing off at the New Year's Eve!
The sunset is truly beautiful, especially you can view it from your backyard. It looked almost like the mountain was on fire, and a feeling of a bit sad to say goodbye to the passing year.
Well, thanks to BYJ, we bae-sisters all had a wonderful end of 2007, wish the new 2008 will bring us much joy too.
Love and hugs, wish you and your family all the best in the new year!
-H.
