Fourth Of July Fun Facts.

I was talking to younger niece the other day and I asked her what she is doing for the 4th of July. She told me she is going to a party and then going to watch fireworks. Then I decided to dig a little more and I asked her if she knew why the 4th of July was so important. She got quiet and then said “it’s Independence Day.” But then went on to explain which was pretty impressive. This gave me a fun party decorating idea. I looked up fun 4th of July facts (listed below); I will print them out and then paste them onto stars and flags. And then put the quotes around the party area for everyone to read.

• 309.6 million is estimated population for this 4th of July
• The value of fireworks imported from China in 2009, representing the bulk of all U.S. fireworks imported ($217 million)
• 31 places nationwide with “liberty” in their name
• Thirty places have “eagle” in their name
• Eleven places have “independence” in their name.
• There is one place named “patriot”

What other creative party decorating ideas do you have?

Did someone say Twilight?

Eclipse will be in theaters tonight! I can’t wait to see the movie, I loved the first one. I watched some of the trailers and they graphics look amazing. Bella has to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob. And while struggling with this decision she is surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. I can’t wait to see who she picks.

Who do you think Bella is going to pick?

Check out this great trailer below:

Cirque Du Soleil

Tickets are on sale for Alegria a Cirque Du Soleil show!

The show is June 16th - June 20th. You can find out more information about the venue and tickets on Berrycenter.net. I am so excited about this show! I have seen a total for 3 Cirque Du Soleil shows, Quidam, Corteo and Kooza. Each show was breathtaking and very interesting. The way the stories are portrayed you have to stay tuned in or else you’ll miss something. The dance and athleticism is amazing.

Alegria is a mood, a state of mind. It’s the power and the handing down of power over time, the evolution from ancient monarchies to modern democracies, old age and youth.

The clip below has me really stoked:

American Idol Top 3

American Idol is finally down to its Top 3 contestants.

I haven’t been watching very closely until the last few weeks. The 3 contestants that are remaining are Casey James, Crystal Bowersox, and Lee DeWyze. They are all very talented, it blows me away how amazing they can sing. Tonight one of them will get voted off.

You can see one of the performances from last night:
