2010 Octoberfest Fireworks Memories

The night was winding down. We were all stuffed to the max with the bagna, chili, apple slices, carrot cake and various other foods we had eaten at what had come to be the "3rd Annual Octoberfest" at Steve and Megan's house. In an effort to squeeze every last bit of fun out of an already fantastic day, I bundled up Calleigh and Brody and headed down the sidewalk to enjoy the best view we could manage to witness the fireworks. I was certainly rewarded for my efforts with a repeated chorus of "Oh my God, it's beautiful" and "stars!"

And if that wasn't enough to warm a grammy's heart, upon returning to the warmth of Megan's cozy house, Brody put his head on my shoulder and fell asleep for some precious snuggling time before I delivered him to his car seat for the ride home. Seizing the opportunity of a grammy free from other babies, Calleigh rewarded me with a "grammy snuggle me" before she dozed off to dreamland. Sweet dreams babies! Dream about pony rides, moose hats, hair bows, stroller rides and precious times and memories of a wonderful day with family and friends. Next year, Talan and Emma will be keeping up with the "big kids"

Footnote: After returning to the house "post fireworks", Calleigh looked out the window repeatedly, waiting for Campo to return, as she was sure he was responsible for the magnificent display. When he didn't show up, she insisted on calling/texting him to tell him thank you for doing such a good job with the fireworks.
