Happy Birthday...

HARRISON FORD!

Mr. Ford was born in Chicago, Illinois on July 13, 1942, and he turns 71 years young today.



I know there will someday be a national holiday in his honor, but until then, the AFB will be sure to spread awareness of the important historic and cultural event that is Harrison Ford's Birthday.

I should mention that July 13th was also the due-date of a certain member of the Alff family:



But of course Maren was NOT TO BE DENIED her dramatic, early entrance into the social scene of Burbank, so she arrived on June 29, 2004, ready for birthday parties, bounce houses, waterslides, trampolines and rollercoasters.

Independence Day 2013!

Happy 5th of July from Burbank! Here are some pics from our celebration yesterday.

Deacon and Maren, ready for fun.


In keeping with recent tradition, we celebrated with neighbors old and new!


Then, having been inspired by this image of 4th of July Past (2005)...


The kids got busy crushing cans in the driveway.






Then... it was time to watch the Starlight Bowl fireworks!








Susie and I had to stand REALLY still to get this long-exposure shot.


After the fireworks... smores!




Terri and Susie.




And finally... even the fish got into the patriotic spirit!




Indeed! Hope everyone had a very happy 4th of July yesterday.
