THUNDER!!

Saturday was the day we had been waiting for... THUNDER over Louisville! It is a huge deal here and an AMAZING show. We are so glad that Josh's Mom came out for this event and hopefully next year more people will take us up on the offer. I know that Mom LOVED it and says that we should do a family reunion around this event... it is THAT good!


So the day of Thunder unfortunately was cold and not really outdoor weather for a day of outdoor events. The event started at 2:30pm with the first plane flyover and continues till the firework show with different planes flying over every 10-20 minutes. So we decided to stay home till 6:00 so that we wouldn't have to be outside too long. We headed down to party with our neighbor's work's pot luck BBQ which was down by the river. When the planes would fly over Bryson would get so excited and watch them and he would make sure that someone else was watching with him. Check out this cute video...

After eating and hanging out for awhile we decided to walk down closer to the bridge so that we could see the fireworks better, plus to keep moving to keep us warm. We walked down and got GREAT seats on the lawn right when it started to rain, luckily it only rained for a few minutes then we bundled up in blankets and enjoyed the show!

The very beginning of the show they had 2 astronauts in space count down to the start of the fireworks and then the amazing show started... but unfortunately I recorded too long that I can't upload it on, but here is the very end of the finale, it was AMAZING! You really have to be there to understand just how amazing it is. You can just feel it, it felt like the whole ground was just shaking. Josh said that this beats the Rocklin Jubilee by a long shot.

Thanks Mom for coming out to enjoy this fun time with us! Next year we hope that we can have more people here and better weather!
