We quickly learned after moving to this big Kentucky city that life revolved around THE DERBY! No joke, it is almost considered a major holiday here...everything shuts down. And not only is the first weekend in May one of the biggest ever, the month leading up to this day is full of not-stop party. Well, last night was no different. The annual "Thunder over Louisville" was at an all time high with the best weather you could imagine for the event. 700,000 was I think the number that attended yesterdays festivites which include an afternoon full of aircraft shows and around 9:30 the largest firework show in the U.S. We, on the other hand, stayed at home for our own celebration. Abigail was of course not settling for "fireworks on T.V." so we pulled out the left-overs from last July 4th and did our own, much cheaper rendition. The kids were satisfied, prego mom didn't have to walk the mile to and from the car, and we were in bed and asleep before 2:00 a.m.
Advancing to one in BOTH hands!...which requires the tongue technique.
BRAVE one!

I hear you about walking a mile to the car and getting in bed at 2 am. I did both of those, and regretted it all day Sunday. But the fireworks were amazing, and well worth it!
