Failure to ignite the candy cannon

Alright, so I live in Utah now. I am already working and when I am not at work I spend every second I can with this girl ^ . You got to love those eyes. Anyway we have been keeping busy, mostly with kong cones, Texas donuts, mediocre pizza, and candy cannons. and I just realized that means everything we do involves food... dang. One night we went to a block party somewhere north of SLC. Lindsey, Brooke's sister, was playing a few tunes. I was under the impression this would be a huge block party like the one Tempe throws every year. It was not. They probably spent double the money though, it was amazing! Cotton Candy, face painting, bounce houses, snow cones, relish and cream cheese, rockets, kissing booth, ballon animals, hip hop violin, and... THE CANDY CANNON!

The candy cannon is easily the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I really should have filmed it for you all. The candy cannon is a literal cannon filled with candy. Sounds like a great idea. The wise men running this informed us to plug our ears and began the countdown. Then the cannon ignited! ( I am not joking this really was a cannon, it was really really loud) Candy shot two stories into the air and the site was simply majestic. Then I thought to myself, that is most definitely coming back down on top of me. The whole crowd dove out of the way as burnt and smoking pieces of candy crashed down on top of us and the cars around. There may or may not have been a piece of the cannon in the potato salad. The candy was burnt and shattered beyond edibility. I have never laughed so hard. That is it.
