Last night we took it pretty easy. We tried a new mexican place for dinner, The Jalapeno Tree, which wasn’t that bad considering I’m not much on mexican food. We took the kids to Chuck E Cheese’s to let them play for awhile. This year I didn’t purchase fireworks instead we went to Sheppard AFB to watch their Freedom Fest ‘08 Firework Display. There were a few hundred other people shooting off their own fireworks as well which made for a great night. Overall it wasn’t a bad 4th of July. A few pictures are on my flickr account.
Tonight the kids (and Melissa) took me to dinner for a nice steak. Afterwards I figured we could take the kids to the park to fly kits, blow bubbles and play on the playground. They enjoyed flying the kites (although not so much Rachael as she just liked to watch and blow bubbles). Here is a quick video of them playing and a short message from Chase. He was actually recording what he did at the park (it was suppose to be a Me Today from him, but he didn’t have much to say). You can see plenty of pics from the day here.
I’ve been working on a wireframe for this site for months. Actually started it last summer and have trashed several versions of a redesign. I think I have finally gotten a design that I like and plan to actually finish and put online. My plan is to get it finished and up in February. I am making several changes for 2008 and even more next month and figure its the best time to launch a new design. I’m not ready to post a screen of it yet but a few select people have seen it and I’m looking forward to their opinions and we will see how things go from there. So, look forward to a redesign sometime next month.
As I posted yesterday we finally bought tickets to Playhouse Disney Live! for January 26 at the Memorial Auditorium at the Wichita Falls MPEC. This will be the first bigger event that we have taken the kids to. Chase, my 4 year old son, is looking forward to it a lot as well as Rachael, my 2 year old daughter. I’m looking forward to taking the kids however I’m not sure about watching Mickey Mouse for 2 hours or being around that many kids for that long. It will be interesting. I don’t mind Chuck E. Cheese as the kids love it and who doesn’t love Skee Ball. 4 tickets for Disney Live came to be $160 which wasn’t that bad. Of course today Melissa finds out the Doodlebops are going to be in OKC the day after. Thank god we already bought the Disney tickets, I’m not sure I could handle the Doodlebops.
