It’s not much, but I think it TOTALLY counts.

Exactly 13 months old today.

Evangeline turned 1 on June 23rd.

Personally I think lightning is more effective.

Last weekend we went to NYC to see the fireworks on the east river. I probably had my expectations set too high, or maybe I was too far away, but I thought they sucked.

My camera went dead so I had to use my iPhone, which actually did a fairly decent job, considering it doesn’t have a flash, and the camera on the thing generally sucks. There was plenty of ambient light.

The crowd of people was ENORMOUS, as I would expect. We were practically in front of the United Nations building, maybe we should have gone farther south, I’m not sure. People we talked to who watched them on TV said they were really good. They seemed mostly interested in making crazy shapes, and not so interested in giant concussive booms and lots of light, which is the whole point of fireworks.

Oh and it rained the whole time. But we still had a lot of fun.
