Freedom Fest 2009

We ended our busy 4th of July with Freedom Fest!

Mom and Dad ...
waiting for the Illusionist to start!

Some silly girls behind us wanted to be in the picture!

Oh wait, it's the too grown up ...
Rachel, Shanna and Hannah

Kristy Johnson and her husband Kevin travel the world doing lots of illusions and escapes! They were very entertaining!

Their first trick was really cool! A volunteer came up on stage and helped Keven chain and tie up Kristy. The man put on a sports jacket ... and then, Kristy and the man went in a hoop that covered their shoulders to their feet!

Within 10 seconds, he lower the hoop ... and Kristy was wearing the sports jacket UNDER all the chains and rope! Crazy!

They called this on the human origami ... She went into this box!

And he folded it up to this box! Stuck knives in it and all! Then unfolded it again, and out popped Kristy!
Look at that beauitful sky ... no rain, but a nice cool breeze!

Then she did a water torcher chamber (as she calls it)! She had handcuffs, anklecuffs, chain around her neck with a lock and a chain around her handcuffs with another lock!

Preparing herself!

Then she had to pick a lock at the top, to finally get out!

We forgot to time how long she was under ...
but I know it was way longer than I could have been!

Her last stund was being lifted way off the ground, and getting out of a straight jacket! She did it pretty quickly!

Talk about a head rush ...

Within 30 minutes after she was done, they started the best fireworks show ever! A good 20 minutes of big booms, AHHHS, and pretty colors!

Here's a couple ...



The Finale!
