We took Drew to the Folsom Pro Rodeo this year! He loved seeing all of the animals and action! He was really good considering his bedtime is 7:30 and the Rodeo didn't even start until 8pm! He kept switching from daddy's lap to mommy's lap to auntie Bre's lap to Nanni's lap and then started over at daddy's lap! The show went on until about 10:30pm and then came the fireworks show. Drew has never really seen fireworks before so I was interested to see how he would do! The house lights dimmed...and then came back on...and then dimmed...and then came back on. Really? And then...BOOM!! Fireworks just start going off and Drew flips out (it made the adults jump too)! He is definitely not a fan of the noise! Drew and I run up to the top of our section and tried to view it from up there and he still didn't like it, but he tolerated it(the fireworks are in arena fireworks so they don't go up really high but they are still as big as regular fireworks). Then came the frightening part...one of the fireworks actually shot at the crowd and unfortunately, we were right in the path! I saw sparks flying up over the bleachers filled with people and I turned away so Drew wouldn't get burned! Everyone started screaming after they realized what had happened and then the paramedics ran to the crowd on the bleachers. I only saw two people brought back to the trailer getting treated for burns and injuries but I am sure there was more. I fought my way through the panicked crowd to get back to our family so we could go home and get this little cowboy to bed! Drew and I were lucky we didn't get hurt and hopefully he won't be too traumatized for next year's fireworks show :)
