Fireworks ✨

Last night, our local fire department put on a fireworks display for the town! It was SUCH a treat!! We usually have fireworks over our towns celebratory weekend in Spring, but it was obviously cancelled this year. It had ended up being cancelled last year as well, due to the dry weather and a fire ban, but they had opted to do one on New Years Eve. There was a great turnout, so another winter show was in order for 2020!

Brady and I had the pleasure of taking the big kids along, just the four of us ❤️ We’d have brought everyone, but we’re trying something new with the other kids that I’ll tell you all about another time. But with that change, the bedtime schedule is ultra important currently. And frankly, it was SO nice to just be the four of us!!

We turned off the van and cracked the windows so the pows were loud! The kids LOVED it!! They “woooooahed” the entire time. Dekker speculated about how the setup looked and where the leftover material went. Laela pointed out the colors she liked, and jumped at the really loud ones. We all laughed at the kids in the van next to us, screaming and exclaiming out of their sunroof. It was cute. Everyone was SO excited!

The show didn’t last terribly long, but the kids were so happy. It was SO worth it. It was just a really nice little outing, and a great morale boost!

Thank you, Lord, for a town that makes efforts to bring smiles to faces in otherwise dark/unconventional times.
