This channel just gives and gives and then gives some more. Stay with me on this one. Gonna take a while. My father was a HUGE fireworks fan. He’d buy everything they offered at whatever stand we’d end up at. It was always epic. Guy at the stand would always give a deal because it would just be a huge pile of fireworks. He loved to see me and my siblings just go crazy at the fourth. He was a WWII vet, loved this country, loved family, loved people of all kinds and taught all six of his kids to love the same things. Anywho, he’s been gone for 4.5 years now and everything in this video represents stuff we did as kids with my dad. We had go karts, tractors, mini bikes, lawnmowers, balsa wood gliders and property to do all this stuff on. We were full send 24/7-365…just like this family here. I miss my dad, mostly around the 4th. Derek and his family have brought back all those fantastic memories to a feller. Yep. Perfect.
