I'm still waiting to get some photos developed from my birthday party, so stay tuned for more updates to the pics page.

(continued from previous post) So I start feeling pretty queezy over at the moonwalks. I may have eaten too fast, or maybe it was the 100 degree humid heat. Anyway, we all decide that it's time for a snowcone. So we get to the humongous line and 5 minutes later, someone from the crew tells us that they ran out of ice and water. NO WATER! All this time, there's a lady laying on the ground beind us from heat stroke. Guess, she got overheated yelling "free popcorn" all day. So we go sit down to die while Sam goes to the store to buy ice and water. So our legs were dirty, I was sick, and my sister was hungry because she doesn't eat anything but potatoes and bread. We were a pretty miserable bunch. My mom finds some water from a stand and buys as much as she can. A little later after it started getting dark, the main program was starting. They had all the local politicians attending go up on stage and tell everyone why they love America. While a church choir was singing, there was a loud pop, and there went all the power. You couldn't hear the singers, (thank god) cause the mics were out and there was no lighting anywhere. They finally got the generators going and started the program again. (all this time the mosquitos were having a field day....the fleas in the field also decided to jump in on the act) During a certain part, some red sparkler sprayers went off above the main stage. Some of them land on the statue of liberty and catch it on fire! They had to get a guy up there with an extinguisher to put her out. Finally, after sermon after sermon, the fireworks show began. It wasn't worth the day, but they were pretty cool. Sunday, all I did was sit at home and chilled with my parents, scratched my mosquito and flea bites, and ate some good food my mom made. Oy, what a weekend.

Here's a doozy for ya!
I went home this weekend so I wouldn't be by myself since Philip was in Florida. My mom asked if it was ok that we went to this festival with her cousin's wife, Samantha, and her kids. She said there were supposed to be some spectacular fireworks. I was up for it since I had just seen a good fireworks show pretty recently. We get to the pasture that the festival was in and as we're walking in, there are some tee pees and old war hospital stations set up on the left. In the main area, there was some honky tonk music about Jesus going on. I asked my mom what was up with the music and she says, "oh, this is a christian festival." :/ So on the main stage there is this large picture of Jesus wrapped in the American flag. :/ The main stage had a flag background with a statue of liberty on the top-center. It was hot as hell, but we were all hungry so we went to the concession stands to get something to eat. The prices were great: 1.75 for a sausage on a stick, 1.50 for nachos, .25 for a snowcone. So we ate then went to let the kids play on the moonwalks they had.
