Since it rained on 4th of July, we (and the rest of VA Beach) missed out on fireworks this year. We've been keeping our ears out all summer for a reschedule date but none never came. Then at work, one of my coworkers informed me that they were going to set them off for Friday night at the Patriotic Festival. We ate an early dinner and had it all planned out. Get ice cream at Dairy Cream, camp out in the car, and enjoy our dessert from a safe, Lily-approved distance in the parking lot. Imagine our surprise when as we are driving down the road the sky starts to light up ... yep, started them 30 minutes early due to the threat of rain (notice the 1st picture taken as we were driving). We stepped on the gas and got to the shopping center (along w/ a few other hurrying parents) just in time to see about the last 10 minutes. Lily and Emma loved it, they didn't know they had missed the start. Back in the car and quick drive home to stay on bedtime schedule.
