SOMEWHERE BETWEEN EDMONDS AND MUKILTEO, WA :: Another year, another fun Fourth at the Carlins' cul-de-sac in unincorporated Snohomish County - a fantastic day of friends, freedom and fireworks! We kicked up the celebration several notches this year; our combined arsenal was many times larger than 2008, and included dozens upon dozens of shells, rockets and cakes. We simultaneously launched several fireworks to saturate the sky, but also to make it through the piles of pyrotechnics before midnight. It was great! The day was filled with sun, and the night was filled with fiery explosions!
