So, thought I'd finally get on here and blog about the 4th of July celebration we finally ended up having. We did not go to Tempe Town Lake as planned, and now I'm kind of sorry we didn't go. I tried taking pictures of the fireworks from the ground in our backyard, but none of them turned out worth anything so I will not be posting any of them. Our bbq turned out to be exceptionally delicious, however, and I wish I had pictures of the food that was on my plate (and I did), but they got erased. Boo hoo. It was such a pretty picture. Anyway, Carli and James climbed the ladder and sat on the peak of the roof to watch the fireworks. I stayed safely on terra firma and am glad I did. I don't do heights very well and after having a Brandy Alexander I was a tad tipsy and decided against climbing the ladder. Carli had enough scary moments climbing up and down, so it was good that I stayed on the ground to help her. Next year we are going down to Tempe Town Lake, staking out our turf with chairs, blankets and an umbrella and plenty of bottled water, snacks, and sunscreen and waiting until the fireworks begin. Oh and I have to remember my tripod so I can take awesome pictures of everything!

Fourth of July
****UPDATE****
We might not go after all. I still don't have a ticket and it's been reported there are going to be 150,000 people showing up for this event. Unfortunately, I'd be the only one going with Carli and I freak out every time I take her somewhere by myself and end up not having any fun at all, so...Dad is trying to come up with some way we can all go see the fireworks without having to pay to get inside and still be able to have some fun. We'll see. However, rain is in the forecast for tomorrow and its already raining here a tad bit tonight and I really don't want to have the event rained out. I'll let you know the outcome tomorrow. And just as an OBTW - we'll be having brats, pork spare ribs, potato salad (homemade, of course) and corn on the cob for our 4th of July celebration dinner.
So, the plan is to go to Tempe Town Lake tomorrow afternoon and walk around the park, eat the highly fatty foods that are for sale and generally have a nice time hanging around waiting for it to get dark and watch the fireworks. That's the plan. Only one thing is preventing this from happening - James not getting me a ticket in time to attend. I've reminded him, more than once, that I need a ticket in order to even get into the park, but alas, he has yet to purchase said ticket. I'd go myself, but don't have the $ or anyway to get there. So, I sit and wait, trying not to be pissed off that he's done nothing in the way of getting this ticket for me.
