Fireworks psyche-out


They almost got us! Our town, what a bunch of chuckleheads! Tonight Jenny and the Girls and I went to see the fireworks display in our little town. We went to the ballfields, where we thought the vantage point would be good, and eventual escape would be swift and relatively unimpeded. We arrived at 8:30, the advertised time for commencement of firework action. 9 came and went, 9:30 slid past, finally, at 9:50, we packed up and drove for home. Then, almost from a bad July the 4th movie script, the aerial display began, reflected in our rear-view mirror. That was okay; we pulled into a creepy looking, deserted parking lot, locked the doors and watched through the windows. The Girls had enough after about 15 minutes and we came home. Our babes were super tolerant. We got psyched out like 5th Grade yo!

We are going to show fireworks at a reasonable hour.... SIKE.

Shoot. I bet a box of sparklers would have sufficed.

I love that you guys called the city out on their sike! This just reminds me of the notes we'd write to each other in 5th grade denouncing friendships with an arrow to the back of the paper that said "sike"! Sike was serious then and it sure is serious now!
