Thunder Over Louisvi-ZZZZZZZZZZZ

Such amazing weather for Thunder over Louisville.  Mom and Dad spotted the perfect spot off of the Grant Line Rd exit.  For those of you in New Albany you are aware of the HUGE dirt mound behind McDonald's where they put in the new shopping center (now only housing a liquor store).  That is where we were.  We got there in 4 minutes and packed all three kids up the hill (steeper than it looks) and the double stroller in case the kids needed to be strapped in.  We each had a blanket and plenty of snacks for our firework show.  We got set up right next to the only other family up on  "Mt.  Grant Line" and had about an hour to kill before the show started.  Not easy to keep A&A entertained and trying to keep them from taking off and rolling down the hill to I65.  9:30 came and went and no fireworks. None of us up on the hill had a radio with us so James called Makenzie who was down in the crowd to see what was going on.  15 minute delay....okaaay....NOW how do we entertain the kids, we are out of snacks.  Addison was getting quite fussy and squirmy in Grandma's lap, still no fireworks.  Then the countdown started on our phone when we figured it was about time for them to start.  10......9.....8.....7..........6.........5.......4........3.......2..............1.  The sky lights up with color.  Anthony is yelling and pointing as hard and he can.  We turn to Addison who is collapsed on Grandma's arm sawing logs.  She is OUT!  We tried to wake her, even gave her to Daddy to walk around and try to stir, nothing!  There she was in a huge hill of dirt on I 65 semis and traffic flying by, snoring.  The fireworks were beautiful!  Anthony had a ball and it was a great way to celebrate Grandpa's birthday.  We teased him standing on the hill in the wind with his throw blanket wrapped around his shoulders.  We have now called him "Paw Paw Man" in the Superman tradition.   I don't think that I will forget this Thunder any time soon.  :)
