Stadium of Fire

Happy 4th of July! Oh, am I a little late? I hadn't realized. The last several days have been a whirlwind of friends, family, fun, and fireworks. But now things are starting to settle down so I've decided to buckle down and sort through the 250+ pictures we took in 4 days and post them.

For the 4th we hit the Namanny's for a bbq, then stopped and said hello to my parents who had just driven in from New Mexico, then we went and staked out our spot for Stadium of Fire. We didn't get there until nearly 8:30 but still got a decent spot - only about 20 or 30 feet from where we were last year. I packed tons of fun things to play with - nail polish, dominoes, Simpsons trivia cards - and we all had a blast waiting for the show to begin. As usual, Stadium of Fire did not disappoint. Zoe loved the whole thing and would identify each of the colors she saw and tell us which ones were "big" and which ones were "pretty." Here are the pictures.



Keep Your Eye on the Domino...

Dominoes are one of our favorite family activities. So are fireworks. I loved Zoe's description of them. Sounds much cooler than the stupid "OOH"s and "AAH"s the teens behind us were obnoxiously spouting.

Happy Fourth Gillices!
I'm fresh off the boat from missing the fourth in Tonga. Miss you guys. Zoe is getting huge! Radical!

We never do fun stuff on the 4th! I think it's about time we start making traditions. Maybe next year. (Says the perpetual procrastinator.)

On a sidenote, we seriously need to sit our girls down and count exactly how many of the same shirts they have.
