Last year we went to Crockett Park in Brentwood and sat maybe 100 yards from were the fireworks were shot off. We also walked over a mile on the greenway to get there so we didn't have to deal with the crazy traffic in the park. I wasn't so sure this was a great idea with an 8 month old (and an hour past his bedtime).
So instead we decided to park at Ravenwood High School which is on a hill about 1 1/2 miles from Crockett Park to watch the fireworks.
Before the fireworks began the boys got to run around and catch fireflies - perfect entertainment!
We ended up standing in the bleachers for the football field to get as high as possible and it worked out great. I love being closer to the fireworks but a calm baby that actually seemed to enjoy watching the sky light up was much more pleasant than a completely freaking out baby screaming for 20 minutes :) Hopefully we'll go back to our closer vantage point next year!
