If you know Donovan and Hayden, then you know their favorite celestial body is the moon. Tonight, we took the boys to Rhythm and Booms, AKA Let's Blow Up a S#!^load of Fireworks to some background music that may or may not coincide with the sight at hand and invite 250,000 of your closest friends to it. Frankly, I don't hear the Rhythm part matching up to often to the Boom, but the sight of the things that go Boom is definitely something to see.
Donovan and Hayden on the other hand treated it as a 33 minute unprovoked coordinated missile attack and act of war on their good friend the moon. Poor Donovan got scared when the four fighter jets flew over head and clinged for life during most of the Boom. The uncool rhythm's did not help (when I think of CCR and going up around the bend, I don't think of fireworks). Unfortunately, the moon was in the direct line of fire for each shot of fireworks, yet none of them hit and the moon was still standing in the end. Hayden did pretty well the whole time and watched with little emotion. It may have been shock and awe. We drive near Rhythm & Booms and then bike the rest of the way in. The boys did really well with the bike trailer. They did a nice job staying in place and holding on for dear life as I zipped them through crowds, over curbs, and speeding down hills.
But tonight was just a great show. Nice job Boom & Rhythms. If you want help picking out music, then let me know. Following are pictures.
