The Daily Blarg: I'm Sooooooo Traditional.... 4th of July Style

My friend Tauni likes to post all about traditions over on her blog. I was reading her post on creating pop rockets and it got me thinking... "Self... you are totally a traditionalist.... I mean you buy enough fireworks to light a small island country on fire every year." So... I decided to take you through a traditional 4th of July weekend with my clan.

First we drive about a bazillion hours at the butt crack of dawn to look at about 1,500 of these...

I am pretty sure they are all the EXACT same car... but I was assured that they are all very different and unique and have valves and gaskets and domagiggers galore.

Then I spend the rest of the evening with these guys...

Where I stalk random family members with telephoto lenses...

And at some point one of them took the VERY traditional Mom with 853 chins shot. (side note-I really only have 844 chins. Everyone knows the camera adds 9 chins)

And somehow I took time out of my busy chin model schedule to snap a few shots of these...

And during the weekend I find the time to make the anti-food... aka Ambrosia... (side note-I do not eat it I just make it... and I am pretty sure it isn't even considered actual food)
