Baby, You're a Firework!

We decided that since Fireworks were banned due to the draught here in Texas and the high risk of fire, that we would have to go find a sanctioned professional show. Even some of those were canceled. We settled on the Miller Outdoor Theater presentation of the Houston Symphony. It was FREE!

What we didn’t know, was that the rest of Houston had the same idea…

So we hauled our chairs and beverages and hunkered down where we could find room, unfortunately where we found room was not where we could hear the symphony…so next year…must get their early.

In the mean time, we had to kill some time…and what do you know? We brought along our good friend Flip, the camera. We should have filmed the amazing people watching that we witnessed but unfortunately we didn’t…although there was this amazing goatee behind us…but that is for later…

First we had to capture the attempt to fly a kite in the very slight breeze that was there. What you see in the video was attempt number 3 or 4…all with the same result. They were determined at least…



Fail.

Then there was the moment we discovered that the Fireworks weren’t going to even start until 10:45pm and so we basically had to sit in the mass of humanity for a good 3 hours until the fireworks began…and so we found other things to entertain ourselves. Megan, on the other hand decided to treat us to some of her own musical talents. Her Husband is in the background showing us is “proud” face.



To prove that there were a lot of people there…there is this little ditty. Watch for the guy with the Star Spangled Goatee who sat right behind us. Oh, and I had my own little Cameo in this video…



And Finally…the show started…with Courtney’s commentary…
The pictures below are of the same show that you see in the video…
Enjoy!
