Silvester (AKA New Year's Eve)

My girls begged if they could invite a few friends over for New Years Eve.  I told them just a couple friends each & "somehow" we wound up with 25 teenagers at our house.  They were all good kids.  They had a Nintendo Switch tournament, boxed, raced cars on the racetrack, played games, & sang karaoke until the wee hours of the morning.  Oh, & we ate LOTS & LOTS of food.


Trek was excited to be in Germany again for New Years.  New Year's here is CRAZY.  The minute the clock strikes midnight, there are fireworks going off for an hour straight.  It sounds like a war zone outside & there are so many fireworks going off that there's light everywhere in the sky.  It's nuts.  He gets excited because anyone can buy & light fireworks on Silvester.  There isn't anything that is illegal & so you are permitted to buy some pretty heavy duty things.  He went nuts at the German stores & bought a TON of fireworks.  We had over 700 "shots" to shoot off.








We eventually went into the backyard & set off a bunch of rocket style fireworks too.  We were shooting fireworks until 1 or 1:30 & then all the teens went home around 2ish.  It was CRAZY, but it was a blast.
