Fireworks

This year we decided to light some fireworks with the kids, you know, get the whole experience of the Fourth of July. We're not allowed to set them off from our apartment, so we drove over to the local elementary school and set them off in the school bus turnaround. Something told us that we wouldn't be in anybody's way there. Most of the fireworks we had would have been a lot better if we waited until nighttime to light them, but we really wanted Kadon to be a part of the celebration, and dark doesn't come until well after he usually goes to bed.

Ammon lit the fireworks, and I kept the kids corralled, but after a while I got tired of holding Kadon, so it was my brilliant idea to set his carseat on the ground and strap him in! I was surprised at how well he took it, I think the fireworks kept him distracted enough that he didn't mind being contained. All in all, it was a really fun evening, and good prep for Jeremy to watch the real fireworks later that night.
