So many people don't know what I mean when I say my family runs a Firework's Business in Southeastern Idaho. Well, I thought I'd post a few pictures of our set up and the stand I ran so you could get a better idea of how it all works.

The raw details-- my parents cover Southeast Idaho with 10 stand locations and 5 wholesale accounts. My older brother, Andrew, covers the more mid-north area surrounding Boise with 9 stand locations. My younger brother, Conrad, has three locations in Northern Utah. And Dirk just built his own stand this year to add to the mix. Dirk, Myself, and my 13 year-old brother, Eric, help my parents with the set-up of their business. A couple of us have to stay here instead of branching out. Otherwise, what would my parents do without us?!

Since we don't work fireworks on Sunday to observe the Sabbath, we attend church and then head out to the Park to enjoy a picnic and listen to the Pocatello Band play Patriotic Music, serve Ice Cream, and pass out American Flags.

Have a blast viewing all of my New Zealand pictures when you CLICK HERE

Well, out of three cameras and three weeks we managed to take over 1,000 pictures just in New Zealand. I'd say we loved this country a bit too much! I've narrowed it down to some of my favorites and hope I captured the beauty of this wonderful country.

Us Being Kiwi Birds (Too bad we've never seen a kiwi bird except for on the signs!)

Bungie Jumping at the Nevis in Queenstown: the 2nd tallest jump in the world at 440 feet (134 meters)!! That was 8.4 seconds of freefall before the first bounce! I finally got over my biggest fear!

Taking in some fresh air at my favorite spot, Opito Bay. We watched dolphins play near the shore and walked along this beautiful beach. So scerene!

Another one of my favorites was a few hours climb we did on Mt. Cook.

ENJOY!!
