Linzy's 1st trip to the Movies and more.

We went and saw Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs... almost a complete success. Linzy watched the previews and then when they were over she thought that we were done and it was time to go. (so cute). She watched the first half of the movie with no problem, then for about the 3rd quarter of the movie she wanted down and to run through the aisles and play in the seats that flip up(she didn't weigh enough to keep the seat from flipping up) and then at the last bit of the movie she got interested again. On a side note, she ate half a bag of popcorn, the most I've seen her eat in awhile.

On July 4, Ariel's family had a party. when it started getting darker we went outside and started lighting the fountains and sparklers. Then I started firing off those 'mortar' rounds. Basically its a ball on top of a little cylinder, all wrapped up with a long wick. you insert it into a tube and then light the wick. Well, I had 2 in my hands. I placed 1 into the tube and the lit the wick. One of the sparks flying off the lit wick hit the one in my hand and ignited its wick. Upon seeing this, I threw it far away from me and dove for cover. Needless to say the spectators were a little surprised... and no, I didn't throw it towards them. Rest of the fireworks went off without a hitch. Linzy was sad that she didn't get to hold a sparkler or help me, she was kept back the whole tiem with nothing to do but watch.
