Birthday Bash and Concert

The final night of celebrating was Tuesday night with a free concert with Brooke White from American Idol. We had plans to attend until I heard the annoucement come early only 3,000 seats and doors open at 6:00 with the concert at 7:00. Visions came into my mind of standing outside in the cold with three kids waiting for an hour to get in the doors and then fighting to see the stage and getting the kids to sit still. Instead we decided to stay home, eat dinner, shower, and then catch the fireworks at 9:00.

We drove to Airport Hill and parked along with 5 or 6 other cars on the side of the hill waiting. We arrived at 8:40 prepared to have to wait for 20 minutes or more.

We can't wait much longer!!! Can we go outside to see them better? Nope, too cold.

Time waister
Look really close you can see the reflection in the windshield. So much for knowing how to take a picture at night without the flash.

They started at 8:50 and were over by 8:58. Big display and I glad that we haven't gone to the New Year's Eve Parties before since this display had been scheduled for then and the city council decided to hold off until now.

It was home to bed since it was a school night.

Happy Birthday St George we are glad we were apart of the celebration.
