Red Hot and Boom!

I actually ended up goin there last night with my family. We were there in time to see Frankie J and Stacie Orrico which was cool. I didn't really like the song "Don't Wanna Try" but it's one of those where after 20-30 times of being on the radio it kinda grows on ya. He has a really good voice, strong and powerful.... i like that.... and um Stacie hit a lot of high notes so she would fade in and out. They only got to sing 2 songs each cuz of speculation that a storm was heading our way. it was funny cuz Jessica Simpson was about to come out after Stacie had said "okay i got one more song for you! oh wait just kidding cuz there's a big storm coming this way!!". she shouldn't have told us that. anyway one of the DJs goes "DO YOU WANT TO SEE JESSICA SIMPSON BEFORE THE FIREWORKS???" and everyone in my area goes " NO!!!!" . lol that was so funny but of course she comes out anyway and sings God Bless America. she belts it out good. she says to sing along but she sang it in her own style so yeah that was hard.

the fireworks show

originally the fireworks were going to start at 9pm but then it started raining so they were going to delay it until 9:30. but then there was the threat of a storm, we could see lightning in the distance, so they even started it a lil before 9. the Fireworks were of course REALLY good. lots of variety. there's one point where the walkway/bridge thing has fireworks shooting down like waterfalls. tres jolie but then there was so much smoke that when they shot up the Huge Weeping Willow fireworks they were hidden by the smoke! aww... those are one of my fav kinds too. but anyway it was a really good show, the best view we've had in a LONG time for live fireworks and i'm glad we went.
