We started with a walk at a new trail. There are no bikes allowed on this one, so it was a bit less stressful. It's about the same distance as the last one, so we'll probably go again. We only explored about 1/3 of it.
They wanted to climb a hill. So I let them.
Our fireworks plan was to sit on the deck and watch all the fireworks that other people bought. I felt a little bad "stealing" the fireworks, but not bad enough to not watch them! We all started out on the deck, just a few minutes after sunset.
Two houses down from us had some nice fireworks. They were loud(ish).
Ben went inside and watched from there. The boys had sheets to protect them from the bugs. Joshua didn't last much longer though. Then about 5-10 minutes Isaac was inside.
I was the last one in; the bugs had no one else to bother so they came to me. We watched from the comfort of our house.
The fireworks have been pretty constant since then. (Although as I write this, after midnight, there are a few breaks of a minute or two.) But it has been continuous noise. I was a bit surprised that the boys were able to get to sleep, but they didn't have any problems.
