Thunder 2007

Every year before the Kentucky Derby they put on a HUGE fireworks show. And every year they release just one more firework so that they can say that they have the largest show in the country. It is all done to music and they shoot them off over the Ohio River on a couple of barges and the bridge. It is truly amazing!! The air show starts 61/2 hours before the fireworks and goes the whole time. Really, it isn't that awesome. It isn't like there are planes constantly flying overhead, there is usually a few minutes between each plane or groups of planes. The boys loved it none the less. Jacob was so good, he didn't make his nap time because that is when we started our trek down town. Travis was already at the waterfront park holding space, so the boys and I parked where it would be a fast getaway to the freeway, but that makes it a 30-40 minute walk to the park. We did it though. Jacob stayed awake, and was good the whole time, well that is until the 2 minutes before the firework show, then he fell asleep, and slept the entire time!! We are talking fireworks so intense that you can feel the rattle in your chest! Here are a few pictures!
