I was just thinking the same thing about the peach cobbler- I think we need an official proclamation declaring it as the official desert for FF.net. For those of you that have never tried it - you need to - it is sooo good.

Devores - you are a gifted photographer - some of these pictures are amazing. There are angles I have never seen before - looking forward to more.

Wow,

I take a nap and this report has run rampent.

To save Lou's dignity, I will not comment on the last few posts.

Now, where were we?

Oh yeh, still 3 Jul 2011, we are at the beach for the fireworks.

Fireworks do not require allot of comments, so I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

I will say that I thought 9pm was too early to start the fireworks. It was still a little too light out to fully enjoy the show. Another note was the soundtrack. It was too low to hear and add on the thousands of people talking during the show, you could barely make any of it out. The night before we watched wishes and the soundtrack was nice and loud, a great change from previous times. But for some reason, the 4th fireworks show was low.

So, now I'll share SOME of the shots I took during the show......

You will notice the black cloud hanging right there throughout the show. There was zero wind this day and the explosions of the fireworks created this cloud that would not move. It just hung there. Kind of ruined a few photos but what can ya do.

After the show, the kids ran to the campfire to catch the last part of Tangled then headed to keylime's site to "hang out". I guess that is teenager thing. The DW and I looped for a bit, then headed home for some much needed sleep.

The next installment will be for Keylime, she had mentioned missing the GC parade, AGAIN, so I will share it with you.

Day 5, 4 Jul 2011

We wake early to catch the GC parade. Ive always enjoyed these as some people put in allot of effort into thier decorations. But the past few have not been spectacular. Not many GCs participated. This one was different. There were hundreds. They also changed the route. It headed straight from the hitch/unhitch area to pioneer hall. I almost missed it because I was set up with the cart just outside of the 400 loop, where we always watch it. Luckily my junior TCD senses kicked in and I noticed somethings were just odd. So asked a ranger and sure enough, the route was different. So I get a spot just acrossed from Hilda's.

This is the end of the parade, but apparently, this CM didnt get the memo that this would be going on today. He felt entitled to drive past everyone else to beat the traffic.

How do I know he was a CM? He was in costume and had a name tag on. The popo were all over him though and made him get back in line like everyone else. They were not kind words either.

Remember a few posts back we saw the flag dude? Well, he was here as well.

So the kids just had to have thier picture with him. Turns out he is just a patriotic kid who wanted to show it off.

I am not sure who won the GC parade, we never made it over to the judging or awards, so if anyone can let us know who won.......
