Thunder Over Louisville


Dad was able to get tickets through his work for Thunder Over Louisville. For those reading this blog that are out of state, Thunder Over Louisville is the big kick-off to the Kentucky Derby. The day is filled with air shows (which were pretty impressive, although a bit loud) and then a huge fireworks display at night. There are 2 barges of fireworks and fireworks that go off one of the bridges that cross the Ohio River. The fireworks show is the largest in North America and is pretty impressive. They estimated that over 700,000 people attended the event! Which is why the tickets to a reserved area, free parking and free were the only way to go! Thanks Dad for a great time! And thanks to Cory for getting us home in record time!!


We arrived around 5 and Eva took a nap during the air show. Then she fell asleep not too long after the fireworks started at 9:30. This girl can seriously sleep through anything (wonder where she got that from?)

Gilbert handles the girls so well! And the girls were really good considering there was a lot of time to kill before the fireworks!

Words can not describe how lovely this is.

Nice, but not as fun.

Payback Photo #1. And I think this one is pretty tame.

Not the best of quality - taken with Gilbert's cell phone.
