Stadium of Fire!

The kids and I had tons of fun at Stadium of Fire. We got a ride with our friend LaurieLyn and her daughter Sabrina because their grandparents live right by the stadium so we didn't have to hunt for a parking place. We got there early and headed over to see what was going on near the stadium. There were lots of booths with free stuff and the kids had a ball seeing what there was to see and finding the best free stuff. :)

When we finally got our kettle corn (we waited in line forever!) and got to our seats it was ready to start. I laughed when they did the Stadium of fire announcement in the usual "song" and the kids said "THAT'S why Dad kept singing Stadium of Fire like that!" They must've just thought their dad was a little nutty. :) My personal favorite was the Blue man group. They did "how to be a rockstar" and it was really funny. I would love to see a full performance from them. The even funnier part was when Mylie Cyrus came out and started doing all the "Rockstar Dance moves that the Blue man group had just barely been poking fun at. THAT was funny. ;)



This is the kids posing silly with their free fans.






This one is to prove I was actually there and so was LaurieLyn. :)




I LOVED watching the skydivers! It was so cool! Most of them flew right over where we were sitting when they came to land in the stadium. To think they can be that precise is pretty cool. I took a video (see below ) of one of them landing with my little camera, but it really doesn't give you the feeling of speed that you had watching them in real life coming into the stadium. I don't know if it was the sound or what, but they seemed to be going SOOO fast coming in you really thought they might not be able to stop. Actually the guy I took video of almost ran into the stands on the other side, but I quit filming and didn't catch it.



On the right is Emily and Hannah rocking out to Mylie and having fun!







Em's getting excited for Mylie to come out!



The fireworks were awesome and so much better inside the stadium that when we've watched them from outside and far away. I have a fireworks setting on my camera, but without a tripod the fireworks all look kinda streaky. Oh well... It was a super fun time and even though we didn't get home until really late it was totally worth it. Thanks to Daddy for getting us tickets and to his friend Dave for offering them to us!
