You might be a Kitzman if................

If your fourth of July includes a parade with a Hodag, a bagpipe band from Canada, and the possibility of seeing logging gear and/or a snowcat on a float, You might be a Kitzman.....







































If you haven't even been born for more than 7 weeks and you have already experienced your first bats, crazy groundhogs, chickens, and now the ever popular ladybugs, You might be a Kitzman!




















Yes, Uncles Mike, Pat, and Brian, I do understand the importance of flaming balls of fire!

















If you learn to paddle a Kayak before you learn to swim, You might be a Kitzman.






















If you are able to get big air underneath your tube or twister being pulled by a Pontoon, You might have had the pleasure of riding with a Kitzman driving!




















If you giggle and Grin Big while being bounced and tossed to and fro like a ragdoll, You are definitely a Kitzman ( GO NICK!)



















If you begin collecting fireworks for next year as soon as this year is over and your display is so big that folks request to come over and watch, You might be a Kitzman.



The finale alone had over 100 blasts in it!


If your passage into manhood is not hunting, football games, or shaving but moving up the chain of fireworks from lighting driveway poppers to Boat dock flaming balls of fire, you might be a Kitzman!


Dakota made the big move this year..........Julie, I am sure I will need your support when my time comes! ;)














NICK"S FIRST FIREWORKS...JULY 2007
















NICK'S SECOND FIREWORKS.....JULY 2008
(The Kitzman "gene" has kicked in!) :)

We returned home yesterday with all of our toes and fingers, and can still see, hear, and smell. A successful fourth was declared by all. We had a great time up North and already miss the wonderfully cooler weather and most of all we miss Auntie Rhino and Uncle Brian. I have never seen two people play longer with seemingly unlimited supplies of energy and imagination for Pirate Stinky Pete. I am sure they will have the Argh!! sound ringing in their ears for weeks!


With the distance now great between Nick and his "best Friends", we anxiously await the arrival of my Sister and her family at the end of the week. Auntie Rhino, we won't tell you if someone else becomes his "best friend"! :)

I'm way behind on my blog reading so just played catch up with the Kazmanian Pirate. Looks like you guys have been having a great summer!!! He is soooo adorable and now such a little man. I can't get over how big he's getting. We still need to get him and Haylie together!!

Hi guys - just had to catch up on your BLOG. Love the photos of the trip up north. I am not sure which is my favourite - the fireworks one this year on the one on the tube with Daddy just before they 'took off' What happiness and joy you can see in Nicks face.

Great updates!
