Do remember being 13? No, me neither really. But I'm sure I was a lot like Cheetah!
The big thing while he's visiting is FIREWORKS! Like any other male, he seems to be a bit of a pyro. And since big fireworks are illegal in Oregon, his firework money has been burning a hole in his pocket!
Last night was the night. For the past week, we (they) have been checking out all the stands/ factories/ whoever sells fireworks, shopping for the best prices. We all piled into the sport and headed for Fireworks Express. (I was glad they won, very friendly people and they didn't mind the kids running around like a bunch of banshees . . .the little kids not Cheetah and Daddy Lion, however, well we won't go there!)
WOW, I got way off track . . .anyway. The big boys spent their money and after a quick (well, it was suppose to be quick, but hey it's little town USA) stop at the Sonic we headed home. We could not just put away our purchases until Friday . . . we had to use some right now! *smile*
So, a few fire crackers, a ground bloom flower and tank truck later we headed inside for baths and bedtime with the little ones. However, Cheetah was still itching for a BIG one! So out we went after the kids were in bed and this is how it all went down:
The sound effects are all real! *snicker* I'm not sure what he was expecting, but I think he enjoyed it none the less. *smile* Friday should be fun! *wink*

Well,
ReplyDeleteMama Cheetah recognized those wimpering noises from when he was 2 and saw a spider... good job my son and so brave!! Hsve you grown while you are there?? you look taller! Love You!
Yes, I miss fireworks from Texas. Everything's bigger in Texas right? We are still looking forward to Friday. Should be a fun night.
ReplyDeleteYeah for video on blogs!! Little/big boys never outgrow the love of fireworks!!
ReplyDeleteLauren is very excitied for the 4th. She gets to stay up late which is a huge treat. Aaron is still a pyro so I'm not sure it will every change.
ReplyDeleteHa! That's the most excited I've seen Cheetah all summer! Isn't it great that going out for fireworks is still a family event! We used to LOVE doing that!
ReplyDeleteThat was funny. And, I think "neat-o" is a perfect description. Not quite "awesome", but better than "um, cool". :-) I know you guys are having a blast, probably as I type this. We just got home and I"m bummed we missed your 4th party. Hope it's "awesome", but even "neat-o" works. :-)
