4th of July

First we went to a small town parade with our neighbors.  The kids got more candy than on Halloween.  There weren't many floats but what they lacked in style they gave back in candy!

The dads kept telling Rhylan, Gracin, and Ethan, the more they waved the more candy they would throw.  Rhylan waved practically the entire time!

Someone was "shooting" a rifle.

We found this lot overlooking the harbor where the fire works were going to be.  Rhylan pretty much was being silly for me while we waited... and waited.

We never actually saw the official show, it got too cold and late.  But there were other people near by setting off their own.  They kids didn't know the difference.  Gracin loved it, he has been asking for "fireworks, boom boom boom" for his birthday ever since!
