I LOVE fireworks. Always have, always will. My favorite memories of fireworks are from when I'd spend my summers with my godparents, in Wyoming, where you can buy fireworks year-round and shoot them out of your backyard without restrictions. Since my birthday is so close to the 4th and my godmother's birthday just 2 days after mine, we'd get some of the most expensive, biggest fireworks we could legally buy from the fireworks stands and light them off. Rock Springs is basically the country, with the only lights around coming from neighbor's windows or the stars in the sky, so the fireworks shone extra bright and would make you see spots before your eyes long after the fireworks were gone. Those days are long gone but this year will be extra special because we have our little monkeys to share the fireworks with. Although he did really good at the Bees game when we sat on the field and watched fireworks, Noah is still a little scared of them (he hates any that make loud noises or a lot of flashing, so basically, he only likes sparklers). Bostyn, on the other hand, LOVES fireworks. Even though she was miserable tonight from her extremely bad diaper rash, pretty much the only thing that cheered her up was the little bit of fireworks we did tonight. I can't wait to take them to Sugarhouse Park or wherever they are doing fireworks this year! They will both love the huge display, not the smaller, more intimate show we can do right by our house!
This weekend's agenda:
Thursday. Early work day! Hopefully pool party at Davi's after work.
Friday. Chris actually has a day off! Zoo, anyone? PM: Sugarhouse Park.
Saturday. Another day off for Chris, holy crap! I think swimming sounds good again. Buy huge package of fireworks from CostCo. PM: Set off fireworks after Bbq at Margie's. Roast marshmallows.
Sunday. Sleep all day from exhaustion. Do more fireworks at Ron & Mo's in Syracuse.
