At 8am July 3rd the city allows residents to place blankets/chairs to hold their spots around the lake. I went at 11am on the 4th to add another blanket to the two that the neighbors and us had put the day before. This is what I saw:
Clint's mom and grandma and my dad joined us for a BBQ. Delicious hotdogs and watermelon and yummy treats. As the night went on we were a little worried because it was only 8pm and Clark was getting very tired and cranky. Clint's mom had offered for us to put him to bed and to stay at the house while the rest of us went to watch fireworks, but it was important to us that Clark experience this. Even if we had to go home.
We decided to walked over to the lake and the sea of people and blankets. Clark instantly got in a better mood and had a wonderful time!
Clark with cookies crammed in his mouth.
The gang waiting for fireworks:
Clark getting ready to watch the fire works and watching them from my lap:
The only time Clark freaked out was when people started to cheer and yell after the National Anthem was sung. But as for the fire works, he thought they were amazing. When there was any pause in the show, the would tap his hands together and say "more!"
He stayed awake until right before we walked through the door, but by then it was 9:45:
I gave him a cookie in hopes that it would keep him awake, guess he had enough earlier that day. :)
