Celebrating Independence Day in Yuma! - 03 July 2009 ========================= From July 03, 2009 =========================
These are the photos and videos (previously uploaded individually) from the Independence Day celebration in Yuma that took place on the 3rd of July. It was a day and afternoon at the Colorado River by Pivot Point Plaza. We then watched the fireworks from parking lot of the Fort Yuma Quechan Tribe office that is up on the hill and overlooks Paradise Casino.
Audio: "Water Lily" by The 126ers from the YouTube audio library on the photo sections and the music/ambient of the videos.
These are photos of Thanksgiving Eve and Thanksgiving Day!
On Thanksgiving Eve we prepped some of the items including cuernitos and pumpkin pie. I made the pie and my mother made the cuernitos. On Thanksgiving Day the first thing in the oven was the turkey that we chose to cook in one a bag. My mother made the deviled eggs while we prepped the table and the other dishes. After all these photos that I took of the prep and ingredients, we enjoyed a lovely meal, yet didn't take a photo of how the plate looked like. HAHA!
In November of 2008, my mother visited during the Thanksgiving week. She arrived on the 21st with the last day being the 29th. During her visit we went to various shops, malls, markets, events, and of course Thanksgiving Day dinner.
