Amity wasn't sure what all of the excitement was about tonight. We let her stay up way past her bedtime and her daddy was as giddy as...well, as giddy as a grown man that gets to set off his own fireworks!
Once the "show" (Dennis and Uncle Dylan lighting off fireworks next to the pond while the rest of us watched from by the barn) began...
Amity was so impressed that she was compelled to stand up and give her dad and Uncle Dylan a round of applause.
Aside from jumping every time one of the mortars was set off, she really seemed to enjoy them. Just before the Grand Finale, she laid down on the blanket too tired to stay up any longer and was taken off to bed by KK and GG.
I am so glad that she is much braver than I was at her age (and up until 5th grade!) around loud noises. Her dad thinks it has something to do with growing up around surround sound!
i'm impressed! my kids are almost 5 and 2 and the only fireworks they've seen were during our disney trip! every 4th they've been in bed by 8PM...are we lame or what?!?
