Fireworks 2011

Here is a video of the fireworks at Cityblast. I would definitely think about going there again next year (if we are still here). We were sitting right in front of the speaker, so that is why there is music playing in the background.

Happy Fourth of July

Sorry this is late, but we have been busy. Now that the weather is cooperating, we have been out and about more. Brad actually had the Fourth of July off this year, so we headed out to Tacoma's Freedom Fair for the air show. We had lunch at the Ram restaurant and had great seats for the show. The kids did great until a F-16 flew low and loud over the restaurant. I jumped, Benny had a look of pure fright on his face (then cried) and Timmy had a look of surprise but didn't really cry. After the show, we came home so the kids could take a nap and then we were off to Cityblast in downtown Puyallup at the fairgrounds. It is sponsored by the Foursquare church. Unfortunately, we got there too late for Benny to enjoy all the kids activities. He did get to go into a bouncy house though. At about 10pm they shot off fireworks and it was really cool (video will be posted).

This plane was just hanging around right by the restaurant. Pretty cool, but also very loud.

Here is Benny having fun in the bouncy house!

I think the kids had a great time. When we got home, we felt like we were in a war zone. People were shooting off fireworks everywhere. Benny didn't get to sleep that night until 12:30am and he slept in our bed. Another 4th of July is over and who knows where we will be next year.
