Independance Day

OK, so we're a month behind on the Holidays-big whoop! That's how we roll now that we're back in Cali.

Here are some pics from our Fourth of July parade:


Lucy = 2 cute 2 B 4 gotten!

Spencer was rather nonplussed by all the hubbub. He opted for "naptime" most of the day.

Smiles on the kids' faces are what it's all about--right? Oh yeah--candy, too!

The parade took place on the street in front of our house. I could have thrown rocks from our balcony to our parade spot (I didn't, but I could have). The candy-tossing-kids in the parade were treating all the spectators like targets. There was a group that even had marshmallow blowguns, and some of those kids were aiming point-blank at our heads. Kids...

The town threw a huge shindig all day long at the park across the street from us, complete with classic rock cover band and all! The day ended with an amazing fireworks show that we watched from our balcony. The girls were terrified, and I was ecstatic. It was a super day.
