4th of July 2008

It's the long weekend for 4th of July so time for parties and fireworks. We went to Aidan's 1st birthday party at Kid's Island first. There was a lot of activities for the kids to do: playing ball, dress up, slide/swing/tunnel, playing pretend.






For July 4th, it is always tradition to go to Doug brother's house for fireworks. His backyard faces Almansor Park so we get to watch beautiful fireworks without dealing with trafffic. We had BBQ short ribs, Vietnamese rolls, sashimi, papaya salad and fruits. Here is the grand finale of the 20 minutes fireworks show:

Summer Activities

The kids went to their first baseball game on Monday 6/30 Anaheim Angels vs. Oakland Athletics. My sister won 4 tickets from the radio station 93.9. The seats were really far from the home plate but we wanted the kids to experience a game. We were rooting for the Angels but they lost with a score of 1 to 6. Here are some pics from the event.





During the summer, a lot of parks hold concerts. The kids can dance or jump while enjoying a picnic outdoors. Levitt Pavilion in Pasadena has Children's Night on Wednesdays. You can check out their performance schedule here at http://www.levittpavilionpasadena.org/ I made sushi for the adults and the kids had Little Caesar's $5 Hot and Ready pizza for July 2nd performance by Joanie Bartels.
