Happy 4th of July!
Last night, Kenna, Daniel, and I met Joel and Josh in Addison for Kaboom Town. Kaboom Town is listed by the American Pyrotechnic Association as one of the top ten places in the US to watch fireworks and they do not disappoint. What an amazing firework display!! It was a little hot outside when we arrived a little before six to set up camp, but Miss K made sure that she had plenty of water... 
Addison has a large grassy park in the center of the town that was full of picnickers and families. They had bounce houses, carnival type rides, and all the fair type food you could want - plenty of things to keep everyone entertained while we were waiting for the fireworks. Addison also has a small airport. There were several trick planes in the air all evening and one even had 'sparklers' from its engines right after the sun started setting.

The Cavanaugh Flight Musuem also had a Warbird Flyover - that was really cool to see all of these huge planes flying right over head. Kenna kept pointing to the planes in the sky saying her version of the word 'plane'.
We were glad Josh and Joel came to join us. Kenna loves hanging out with her uncles!
I was a little worried about Miss K getting too hot while we were out in the 103 degree heat, but she fell in love with one of the many huge misting fans that were set up around the park. Anytime she started to get a little warm, we would just walk on over and stand there for a little while...."wheeeee!!"

While we stopped to look around the area, I looked over to find Kenna a little exasperated that we were taking so long to decide!!
Kenna decided that she needed to share her sunglasses with Mom and Uncle Joel.
Kenna has never seen fireworks before and I wasn't sure what she would think about the loud music playing on the speakers or the big booms that followed each launch (especially since it was happening two hours past her bedtime), but she was completely enthralled with the lights in the sky.
She crashed ten minutes after we got in the car and slept the whole way home. After a little hop in the shower to rinse off sweat and sunscreen (which she hated) she was down for the count.

Looking at your pictures, you were maybe a 100 yards away from us. The Coles were probably about 100 yards in front of you. It's amazing how many people were there last night, but it was so crowded I wouldn't have been able to spot anyone!
We thought about it, but I just wasn't brave enough to brave the crowds. Maybe next year. We're heading to Frisco's show tonight, I'm sure that won't be much better! Happy 4th!
I love Kaboom Town but usually forget they do it on the 3rd. The few times I have been I sit at one of the businesses for $20.00 because you don't have to fight the crowds, but you can still enjoy. One year a friend's husband worked right on the runway and the company let us sit there and you could literally watch the fireworks leave the ground. That was pretty cool.
That looks fun. We will have to do that some year.
