A quick tour around Lucy Park where Falls Fest is held each year. This is our second year going to Falls Fest.
There was a BMX Demo going on by Flat Monkey BMX. This was just their warm-up stuff and we didn’t make it back over there for their full show.
The kids did some crafts at the Kids Corner before eating dinner and grabbing a spot for some music.
Wade Bowen was the opening act. The camera is jumping around so much because my daughter didn’t understand the concept of sitting still while I’m filming.
The Lost Trailers headlined the night with a great fireworks display.
Last night we took it pretty easy. We tried a new mexican place for dinner, The Jalapeno Tree, which wasn’t that bad considering I’m not much on mexican food. We took the kids to Chuck E Cheese’s to let them play for awhile. This year I didn’t purchase fireworks instead we went to Sheppard AFB to watch their Freedom Fest ’08 Firework Display. There were a few hundred other people shooting off their own fireworks as well which made for a great night. Overall it wasn’t a bad 4th of July. A few pictures are on my flickr account.
Well today is the 4th of July. Basically my favorite holiday of the year (with Thanksgiving second). I love to cookout one but more then that I love Fireworks. Don’t ask why but I look forward to Fireworks all year. As i’ve posted before this year is out first that we actually spent a decent amount of money on Fireworks. The first day we bought some we spent $114. Then we went back and spentabout $92. Then yesterday I just had to go back and get a 500Gram so we spent about 60. So, over all we spent about $266 on Fireworks. Its alot but honestly not nearly enough. So, I look forward to next year as well. Our plans are to head out to the lake to cook some hamburgers and hotdogs and wait for dark and then light our fireworks (over 250 pieces to light). We have some rain chances (like it has rained all month long) but they aren’t much so we are hoping for a good 4th of July for the weather. (more…)
