America Fest and 4th of July Theme Party

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July because we sure did!

Friday night we went to America Fest - a festival on Kadena celebrating 4th of July weekend. We got our funnel cake and turkey legs - still doesn't compare to Del Mar Fair food, but it filled the void! We also got to see the Lt. Dan Band! Ya know, Lt. Dan (Gary Sinise) from Forrest Gump.

We went back to America Fest on Saturday because Joey was volunteering at his squadron's booth. That was a long 5 hours!

Our strawberry (sauce) funnel cake. It wasn't the same as the Mexican funnel cake at the Del Mar Fair.

Our turkey legs! Had to wait in line for 30 minutes, but it was worth it.

Lt. Dan Band (from Forrest Gump)! Gary Sinise is in the blue shirt playing the guitar.

After volunteering, we rushed home to get ready for a themed 4th of July party at a friend's house. Try to guess the theme from the pictures - see the pictures for hints! Kudos to anyone (who wasn't at the party) who guesses right!

Leopard tablecloth, flowers in a water jug, pigs in a blanket, Easy Cheese (cheese in a spray can), pork rinds, chips and dip, crackers, 'nana pudding, and etc.

I dressed up as a pregnant lady with a baby on the hip, night gown, black leggings, a robe, house slippers, long red nails, big hair, hair rollers, and a lot of make-up. Joey dressed in his work boots, jeans, cut-off shirt, mullet hair, and an "I Love Beer" trucker hat with a 12-pack of beer.

The girls - with big hair and tons of make-up.

The guys - cut-off shirts, cut-off pants/jeans, and mullets.

Can anyone guess the theme?
