Fourth Celebration at the Park

Saturday we went to a 4th of July celebration at Celebration Park in Allen, Texas. 

There was the classic American fair type food- not anything recommended for someone trying to stay under, oh 300 pounds. 

How could you resist the fresh squeezed bacon lemondade?!


Of course we had to try it! 

Just kidding we weren't going to spend $10 on bacon lemonade. So we spent it on blue raspberry and regular lemonade instead. (They must have spent hours squeezing those lemons)

There were a lot of people there!


There was a concert while we waited for fireworks. 

 So we laid out a big blanket

Watched someone propose

(Who were right behind us!)

and we waited

and waited...

Apparently this looked like a good place to just lay down and die?! Between two concession stands? 

 And then the entertainment came! The styx!


These old men can still rock it.

He even whipped out the keyboard.

This is the quality of picture you get when you ask a lady playing cards to take your picture. Rude.

So we tried taking one of own

But it is a little hard to hold your arm strait, while trying to get more than just the sky in the picture, and still look good!

And here are some poor quality firework pictures.

Amazing aren't they?! 

Almost as good as if you were there.

The show was pretty good, it was synced to music. It only lasted about 20 minutes but it was still awesome!

  1. Wow! I knew you were an hour ahead of Billings, but I didn't know you are also 2 days ahead of Billings! We are going to have to wait sooo long until it's Montana fourth of July!

    And what's with the old comments? That guy looks like a young whippersnapper to me!!

  2. What a fun day! I love how David is "posing for a picture" when you take a picture of the dead guy! And ya, you can never trust a stranger to take your picture, I've had the same experience!
