Our accommodations for the Tulip Time fireworks were first class. An 85 foot yacht to be exact. Beats Kollen Park with thousands of people and loud music that is for sure.
This was Charley's first official boat ride. Yup, on an 85 foot boat...whose spoiled now? We made sure to tell him it only goes downhill from here but he didn't seem to care. He is going to be a boater based on his reaction to looking out the window at the water going by. Both legs and both arms were just go go going a mile a minute, eyes were as big a saucers and there was high pitched giggling. Yup, he liked it. Didn't even seem to mind the life jacket so much which is a wonderful thing.
Although Charley enjoyed the boat ride he did not get to stay up for the fireworks...he's too little (that is what Payton says:). Adi & Payton, because they are big... :) got to stay up and watch the show. We did have to find things to entertain them while we waited, suckers, pudding, small fireworks people were doing from their homes...they did great but got a tad slap happy. When we asked Payton what sound the fireworks made she said, "HIP-BOOM" which made all of us laugh because she just repeated it and repeated it.
When the fireworks finally began the girls thought they were really cool. Payton talked almost the entire time, telling us all which one was each of our favorite and designating one to everyone on the boat..."That one is yours Mamma", "Uncle Benny likes that one", "Daddy that one is your favorite". She's funny.
Even though it was a late night and a full day we had a good time spending it with our kids and watching them enjoy themselves.
