OK, I realize this is really delayed. I'll blame it on pregnancy brain. I could've sworn I'd posted Fourth of July photos, but I guess it was on FaceBook instead. Sorry! Well, here they are. We loaded up the wagon with Jack and all our picnic supplies and rolled over to the City College for their annual fireworks show. It was the first time for all of us and we were so impressed! We stopped at Subway for sandwiches and then made our way to set up camp.
After eating our picnic dinner, Rob headed out in search of the Kettle Korn that we had promised Jack. I took Jack to the Jolly Jumper to kill some time. It took an hour to get through the popcorn line, but it was worth it when Jack dug in to the bag with both hands, yelling "popcorn!" He also made his own fireworks show with his light sticks as it got dark. If he thought those were cool, it must've totally rocked his world when the real show started.
Around 8:30 Jack started asking for the fireworks. He had no idea what fireworks were, but we had been talking about them for a week, so he was ready. Finally, at 9pm he snuggled into Daddy's lap just as the sky exploded! He sat completely stunned for about the first 5 minutes, not sure if it was cool or scary. Then Rob told him it was like the lazers that Ironman shoots. That was all he needed to know. He had all three of us pretending to shoot lazers from our palms into the sky! It was really funny! I'm sure the people around us thought we were crazy, but Jack was happy, so who cares!
