Thunder Over Louisville ... April 17, 2010

Kevin and Kim Button and their kids came down from Chicago and stayed with us for a night. We spent Saturday at Thunder over Louisville, one of the largest fire works spectaculars in the world as part of the lead up to the Kentucky Derby in a couple of weeks. It was tough to find a spot, but we enjoyed the air show, playing some ball games, and then ultimately watching the fireworks. It was a long day (we got there around noon/1:00 and the fireworks finished around 10:30PM), so the kids were dead tired by the end of it. Actually, it seems just as the fireworks were about to start, the kids fell asleep. We had to wake them up to ensure they saw it, as I wasn't going to have waited all day for them to miss it. It was crazy trying to get back to the car afterward with two sleeping children plus Katie sleep walking, basically. But we made it and had an enjoyable day.
