FireWorks!!

So Tyler hates going to the fireworks because there is so much traffic after the show. So I decided that I would just take the boys and we would have a fun time. We packed up the car and headed to Tyler's school parking lot to see the show. We got there and it was about a half an hour till the show. So we decided that we would go a little closer. We got out the stroller and the camping chair and headed to the water. We did get the perfect spot. We were waiting till the show started and we were having a great time.

Sadly this is mike 10 minutes before the show started.

And this is Scott 5 minutes before the show started.

I could not wake them up. I shook them. I took off their blankets. I sat them up and dropped them back down. Nothing. Finally I tickled them. Scott woke up to see the finale. Here are some pictures.

Good thing that I really love fireworks because I didn't really think of a way to get back to the car if both the boys were sleeping. All I had was our cheap umbrella stroller. And we had our double camping chair which is quite heavy. Scott was too tired to even sit in stroller. He kept crying that he wanted to sit on his knees, but if he did that there wasn't enough weight to keep the stroller balanced. I put the camping chair strap over the back of the stroller and balanced Mike (who was completely dead to the world) on the chair. They were heavy. And we had to go up two big hills. And I was wearing flip flops that I had to take off to be able to make it up the hill.  To make things worse that was the first time that I had ever been to that part of campus and it was really dark. I was following the crowd to across the field and I went in the wrong direction to the car. So instead of walking in a straight line to the car we made a giant V. I had to ask strangers for direction twice. I really had no idea where I was.  At least Scott was whining so much about having to sit in the stroller that he eventually woke up Mike, and Mike walked the rest of the way to the car. He was really cute he was saying I'm being strong and walking for baby. But yeah. I really don't advise going to the fireworks alone with two young kids.

Actually I think it would have been really fun if they didn't sleep through it. If they had enjoyed the fireworks it would have all been worth it. Anyways Happy Canada Day!!
