Day 188: Stampede Parade & Magic Show

This morning my family and I went to "The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth" - The Stampede. We didn't go early but we did found a pretty good place and saw a pretty good view of the parade. I would've posted a picture of the parade, but my dad was hogging the camera.. lol. Well, that's alright, he owns it anyways. Next year I'll have my own camera.. hopefully! Before the Stampede was over, we decided to leave early to eat. If we waited, there would've been a lot of people lining up which would take us a long time to get our stomachs full. So, we went to Pho.. in downtown. I was really happy at first, but found that their vermicilli didn't taste the way it should... compared to the two Pho restaurants I usually go to. ANYWAY, Jill got Jomar and I an advance birthday present (he's two days older than me >.<). And for that, she bought tickets to an illusionist's show, Derek Selinger. I really had a great time! Jill, if you are reading this, thanks for today. And thank you for your wonderful parents who gave us pizza and chicken for free lol. Anyways, on one of his illusion, he gave five bags to five different people and one of those people was Jill's sister. He said to put any personal item in the bag. Since I was holding my cell phone, I gave mine to her and she used it as her "personal item". I won't explain it, but I thought it was a pretty good trick. This guy is pretty good, though we didn't get to see some of the better illusion, we did get to see his LAST performance of his illusion called, "Beyond". I think that's what it's called. Hrmrmrm anyways, at the end he signed cards and each of us got one. I went to him twice and gave the first one to Jomar lol. Thanks again Jill for today! :D
