Pete's December Bonfire

It seems that Pete throws a bonfire party once about every 3 or 4 months. I was at one of his first bonfires last year in December, and it was INCREDIBLY huge and amazing. The one this year, December of 2006, was a little smaller, but we made up for it with the number of really intense, profesional-grade fireworks that Alex managed to supply. Maybe Daniel brought some, too, I can't remember. Anyway, a lot of fun was had by all, including Ryan, who was trying to get some Mentos-Diet Pepsi working...

Then we had Pete running around, doing his usual preparations to get the bonfire just right before countdown to the burn...

And here we go...

The fire going strong...

Here's Ryan managing something and getting singed.

Pete had served an incredible dinner of ribs, we had had some of the homebrew Belgian ale, and everyone was having a great time. Here's Alex in front of the fire...

Here's Sarah and Daniel, with Ryan hovering in the background with his videocamera...
