We'll do anything for fireworks

Our 4th of July fireworks this year took place on dreary July 3rd at the Royals game.  We were worried that the game might be delayed or fireworks canceled, but all sounded well on the pregame broadcast so we headed to the stadium.  Things did not go to plan.  We arrived at the stadium in time to hear over the radio that the game would be delayed, possibly an hour. After an hour of family time in the car, we headed in to find . . . 

 the tarp still on the field.  An hour after that, the game finally started shortly after 9 PM

 Needless to say we thought we'd be waking the kids up when it was time for the fireworks, but Lyla had other plans.  Although Asa and Steven each got in a nap, Lyla Jean watched the game in its entirety.  At 1230 when the fireworks started she was ready to go; glad to see her staying power put to good use.
