With a Fizzle and a Pop

Being New Year’s Eve tonight, we invited some friends and their kids over to share a meal and play. After we’d eaten and opened the lingering Christmas gifts, we went in search of some fireworks to watch. It was a cold, rainy night; and many venues had cancelled their fireworks displays due to the weather and pandemic. We thought The Gaylord Texan was going to put on a show still, so we headed over there to try to catch it.

We didn’t want to pay to see anything, so we camped out in The Great Wolf Lodge parking lot across the street. We waited. And we waited. But nothing. We had almost given up hope, when some aspiring guests at the lodge decided to put on their own mini display. It wasn’t much, just a few Roman candles and small fireworks, but it helped bring in the new year nonetheless, and the kids enjoyed it.
