It’s not everyday we get to take the kiddos to see a concert and fireworks. This weekend my hubby and I did just that. For our “Family Fun Summer Series,” we thought the kids would enjoy it. Besides, it was free! Well, actually our tax dollars fund these types of events. But, whatever.
The town hosts different shows throughout the summer. This weekend was the “Salute to America,” which featured an old school band, followed by a fireworks display. Our neighbors, Barry and Marjorie had been telling us about this for years, but we’ve never attended. So, we weren’t sure what to expect.
The park where the event was being held was jam packed. People brought blankets, coolers, chairs, as if they were going on a champing trip. The only thing we toted were the kids and one stroller. I was beginning to think that we were ill prepared.
We parked at a neighboring park, and took the two minute free shuttle to where the event was being held. Princess was pretty bummed about the fireworks not getting underway immediately. Her mood quickly turned when she ran into one of her friends from school.
We later met up with our neighbors. Everyone sang along to the gosh awful band. Even though they couldn’t hold a note, the townsfolk love it. They sang patriotic songs like “God Bless America,” while the Supermoon provided a nice backdrop to the scene.
The fireworks more than made up for the singing. It was a nice night out and the kids had a great time. By the end of it Baby O was pooped, but Princess still had a ton of energy. We stopped off to get ice cream on the way home and then called it a night.
What did you do this weekend?
Fun festivities! Love it!!!
How do you keep your daughter’s hair from getting tangled? I have to keep my daughter’s hair in braids because it became a nightmare to de-tangle her hair. I LOVE seeing it out but she hates it being combed and since it gets tangled otherwise, I have to just bite the bullet and keep it in 4-braids. Any insights you can offer will be most appreciated.
Thank you!
Hi J, I keep her hair tangled free with Kinky Kurly Knot Today. The company doesn’t pay me for endorsing the product. I just love it. It works wonders for my hair as well. I usually come home when she’s already asleep, so there’s no one to braid her hair at night. I’m still trying to give my hubby a braiding lesson. lol. For now, she wears a satin cap at night, that also helps too. In the morning there are a few tangles, but not too many. I spray with water, finger detangle by separating her hair into small sections. It sounds like a chore, but I can get it done in about 5 minutes or so. When I’m off from work, I braid her hair at night before putting the satin cap on.
Very helpful. I appreciate it. Thank you!
I’ll check out the product now. 🙂
