kiengkham's korner: Fourth of July

This was our first Fourth of July at our first home. We (Souwan) grilled burgers, chicken and some vegetables from our garden . I made the family one of my favorite salads using the string beans from our garden. After having lunch with my family we watched a little bit of soccer and Nathan's hot dog contest. I was a little disgusted yet amazed these guys can eat all of those.   Souwan and I headed out to spend time in our town for the fourth evening. Souwan joined in spray painting the wall and enjoyed some of our favorite child hood candy from the candy store.   After walking around downtown, we headed over to my friend Chris's family home for an evening of firework and more food with our friends and family. If you have never had the food from the Filipino BBQ at Autumn Jubilee, you are missing out buddy. Great stuff! I didn't get a picture because it disappeared so quickly. I tried the famous sparkler photo shot, but I didn't have much ...

Disney's Magic Kingdom

The last Disney park we visited during our honeymoon was Magic Kingdom.  This was by far the busiest park out of the three.  The FASTPASS was our lifesaver!!!  We went straight to the FASTPASS for Space Mountain and the Disney Princess Meet/Greet (it pays to be nice and have on your "special" buttons...we go dual FASTPASS from the one of the cast member).  You usually can only get one FASTPASS within the same hour.  We can then proceed to take on the attractions around the area (Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, Stitch's Great Escape!, Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover).  After we finished riding the attractions in Tomorrowland and meeting the Princesses, we found a great location in front of Cinderella's castle to for the "Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade."     Once the parade finished, we visited the rest of the park.  We got to enjoy t...

Disney's Epcot

Another part of our Honeymoon at Disney World. Epcot was filled with space and futuristic rides. Space Mountain was one of the popular rides. Riding on a roller coaster in the dark had my heart pumping! We even got on a ride that took us to look at our future. It was pretty entertaining and impressive technology! My husband and I joined together to create a car and got to test ride it on test track. I thought for sure we were going to die. Ha! My husband added all power features to the car to make the car have speed. I wanted efficiency in the car and practical features. After getting in "our car" we surprisingly got 2nd place on the track. I was shocked and very amused.   After the fun rides we continued to travel through 12 countries! Not really. Epcot displays countries in a World showcase. In each country are shops, entertainment, and eatery. We met more princesses and characters from Disney in several countries. My husband and I enj...
