Fourth Of July Festivities

I've tried 12 times over the last three days to put a video on my blog from the Bellevue family 4th festivities. To no avail. So you will have to settle for still pictures. It was fun to see Michael onstage doing his thing. Everybody was really getting into it and dancing and having a great time. They played for about an hour and a half and the crowd just loved it.

Lisa brought pulled pork and we had pulled pork sandwiches. We brought a wagon full of stuff also. So there was plenty to eat. Derrinda's parents made the trek to come see Michael play. Her sister was also there. So we had quite the group there to watch Michael perform.

It was funny because afterwards Michael put a jacket on and took his glasses off to try to disguise himself a little bit so people (mostly kids) wouldn't come bother him and ask him for his autograph and stuff. It's kind of crazy how people are.

We didn't stick around for the fireworks -- it was already too late. In fact, we saw plenty of fireworks on the drive home. Anyway, it was a fun day and as usual, Michael was amazing. We are looking forward to the next public show. August 23 also in Bellevue. Live at Lunch. Last year was great because it was like a private showing almost. Not very many people there. It was awesome.

Happy birthday America! (And Samson)
