Conrad & I were brainstorming on what we should do for the holiday. As all the fireworks shows began at 10, it seemed like it would be a bit of a nightmare to try & take Cate out that late (she would freak out -this girl loves her sleep). We didn't want Bronwen & Ava to miss out though. The solution? We had our own "neighborhood firework show." We bought sparklers, poppers, snakes (that looked like gross poop coming out of a tube -ick!) & a few other types that went up a few feet. When we began celebrating with the kids across the street, we heard our neighbors behind us come out. They had a bunch of really cool (& probably illegal) fireworks! We joined forces with them, then another family came out. Then another & another! In total there were about 25 of us out until 1030. And guess what! Cate didn't cry at all! She was having a great time watching as all the other kids were.
I think the only people who weren't having fun were the neighbors with a newborn. Their house just happened to be at the center of all the action. ;-)
