I had a secret mission to keep Alivia up until 10 p.m. to see the Eagan fireworks from our house. Brian caught wind of this pretty quickly and wasn't too trilled, but went along with it. 8 p.m. passed (Alivia's usual bedtime) and 9 p.m. rolled in. Alivia was in good spirits as we watched fireworks on television. She "ooohed" and ahhhhed" at the appropriate times and made sure to point to her favorite ones.
Between 9 and 10 we heard fireworks, so we searched outside around our house, but only saw a few smaller ones. By this time Alivia started getting lethargic and cuddly (Yay!)
The story has a happy ending (sort of). "Operation Fireworks" was a success in that, Alivia made it to 10 p.m., however, we weren't able to see any fireworks from our house. Oops. Next year it looks like we'll go to Eagan's Central Park to watch on site. Lesson learned.
