The boys and I went to the Kernersville Fireworks display, and Alannah joined us later. The Kernersville News had reported that quality over quantity was the theme, and I’m quite happy to confirm that. The boys had a blast playing on the playground equipment and rolling around on plush thick grass and clover that was there.
Getting Joe to sit still through the entire fireworks display was significantly outside his range, but he did good considering he’s an almost-4 year old boy on a playground after bedtime *wheeeeeee*
Me? The word of the evening was overstimulation. There was a hardcore gospel band playing at the church across the tracks, and the band the town hired was playing on the field. I don’t do so well with thumpin’ bass, and the combination of the two was painful, to say the least. My best moment was when the boys finally settled down (as much as they could) to watch the fireworks, and the competing music stopped.
We’re going to be wending our way through the mountains soon, to celebrate my Mamaw’s 91st birthday. I should probably check for wifi availability….
Hardcore gospel band made me giggle.
