Our 4th of July

We woke up at a ridiculously early hour and headed off to our Ward flag raising and breakfast. It was a great way to start the day.

The rest of the day was spent doing mundane tasks like laundry.

We ended up getting some last minute tickets to the Frisco Freedom Fest. So we headed out in the early evening to partake in the festivities.

First up, was the soccer game. FC (Futbol Club) Dallas vs. Chivas USA. FC Dallas dominated 2-0. Apparently, they have the best record in the MLS. Who knew? But for my first major league soccer game it was quite fun.

Next there was a 30 minute intermission while they cleared the field for the Clay Aiken concert. Below is a picture of Quinn amongst all the Claymates clamouring to get close to the stage. Can you find him?

This next pic is both of us eagerly awaiting Clay's arrival to the stage.



The man himself.


Let me just say this. Clay busted out a medley of what he called "American Classics" He started off by singing "Baby Got Back" and "Like a Virgin." Unfortunately, I was caught off guard so I don't have it on video. However, I did manage to snag footage of him sing "O.P.P" and other delights. I'm just trying to figure out how to post it to the blog. So to all you Clay fans out their, patience please. This is priceless footage.
The concert was followed up by what was billed as the biggest fireworks show in North Texas. It was a lot of fun.

The night was capped off by sitting in traffic for 90+ minutes. Not so fun.

I like the "Where's Waldo?" part. Sushicat and I totally spotted him right away but when we enlarged the photo we noticed the obviously "on-a-break-from-school" facial hair....not to mention the Waldo facial expression. Great picture...great blog. Glad you had so MUCH fun. We saw the fireworks as we drove along the coast bringing Sushicat home from her evening flight. See you both tonight.
