Vacation - Day 6 - Fireworks!!

Wednesday was the 4th of July. We spent most of the day at the beach, then ventured up to the Whalehead Club in Corolla for the fireworks. I'd had the foresight to order a huge box of red white & blue glow in the dark necklaces which I handed out to everyone. Each of the kids had several.

My husband thought I was being cheesy until it got dark and he realized how amazingly easy this made it to identify every person in our group. The fireworks were fabulous, as they always are. Lisey panicked when the first one went off, covering her ears and crying to go to the car. After a few minutes, she calmed down enough to enjoy the show, but kept her hands over her ears the entire time anyhow.

Traffic was a bitch, as it always is. We planned on sitting in the parking lot for an hour and that was pretty much what we did. We had a DVD for the kids to watch and by the time we actually started moving along towards the beach house, the kids were asleep.
