Lillybelle fell apart during fireworks last night! We had a lovely July 3rd. Nice picnic spot, food, chairs, blanket, trees, creek nearby. Beautiful weather, breeze...park surrounded by dozens of flags and one huge American flag, and a huge old military helicoptor in our fairly new park.
As the afternoon went on, the park filled, friends strolled by, Lillybelle loved the people, kids and activity. The symphony played......
By 9:30pm...darkness settled, the huge display of fireworks started and her panic began....her total bliss....turned into terror...with every thump in the sky her body flinched....she went between hiding her head under my arm and looking out at the sky...we had to, in quite a rush....grab everything up...
And get to the quiet of the car....
Then "home again-safe at last". |
