Fireworks – Pierce Field

Thinking of you, Mum, on your birthday.
And Happy New Year to everyone else.
Sky Rockets in Flight….
I can’t remember the last time we could see the fireworks at Old Mountain Field from our dock. The only downside to the light show was the gnat attack we had to endure. This Fourth of July also marked the first time the kids got their hands on sparklers – at the Vermette’s Fourth of July picnic and again at the beach house – thanks to Mrs. Cullinan (Nana’s friend). The shot below was taken from the dock using a 300mm lens.
Tracking Santa…
…on Christmas Eve.
A Christmas surprise
I was driving through the neighborhood on the way home tonight when I noticed all the Christmas lights. Seems like we’re always the last ones to get them up. I made a mental note to get them up this weekend, and that’s when I saw our house. A nice surprise…
Stealth Shopping
Donna and I just went Christmas shopping; the kids are with Barbara. We picked up bikes for them, which are now hidden in the office downstairs. Diamond Back Mountain Bikes. Nice. I can’t wait for Christmas morning.
Last night we told them we were taking them furniture shopping, or was it a visit to the fabric store. Anyhow, our true destination was Laser Tag in Fall River. It was definitely different, but the kids loved it. I think Glenn loved it more than anyone.
The day before was Thanksgiving. The food was great, except for one little mishap that made us all laugh out loud. I think it was referred to as spaghetti squash. Yikes. Bailey had us in hysterics. That’s all I’ll say about that. We also got a demo of the PS3 and BlueRay. Cool stuff. I think we watched “Monsters vs. Aliens.”
Too Good to Eat
It was another fantastic Fourth of July Party at the Vermettes this year. Lots of food, and something new this year – a game called LadderBall. We have to get a set. The second annual Diving Contest was also a complete success.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
The kids are asleep. Christmas Vacation, a holiday classic, just ended. It’s almost time for Santa Clause to do his thing.
