Fireworks Tent

We left for the fireworks tent on Tuesday, June 25th at 1:30 in the morning.  We were going to go to bed early the night before, but that didn't work out, so we decided to stay up and leave early and drive through to Clarkston.  
Shadow didn't want us to go...he's in good hands with GrandMary watching him.

Packed and ready to go

Fully loaded

Aspens for days


Sunrise and switching of drivers











Another Dayton!

Waffles for breakfast

Tent all set up










The next morning I arrived to relieve Scott from watching the fireworks overnight when I noticed that he had stacked all the boxes from under the table and he had brought the pallets back in to the tent.  This was rather confusing because we had taken them out and stacked everything that we hadn't put on the tables under the tables to store.  It turns out that just as he was getting ready to relax for the evening, he started to hear drops of rain.  We had not seen any rain in the forecast...here are his pictures from the rain and it creeping into the tent.  







View from the register side

We experienced some very pretty sunsets while stuck in the tent.

Selling fireworks is exhausting work

She had to make a sign and wave it.



This sign is directly behind me at the register and yet every day, multiple times a day, people ask if we take cards. 😂


Bored....not enough customers and it's hot!

Playing with the filters on my camera...



Passing some time coloring...

A GIANT gust of wind blew today and it whipped through the tent and knocked several items over and blew buckets across the tent.

Knocked these off the table...

My handsome man..

In our boredom we read the signs a noticed a little spelling error...

Another spelling error

What it looked like at the end of the night on the 4th

Now we need to box everything up.










We survived the 4th! 

Scott stayed up all night packing up the fireworks to send back.  This was at 6am.

Now to finish packing it and stacking it on a pallet so it can get picked up and we can get out of here!
