What is more American than going to a Parade on the 4th.........well just about nothing, so that is what we did. We were able to get prime seating thanks to some awesome relatives, and we were even able to see a familiar face in the parade (although I was trying to pretend not to know him, since he was on top of a fire truck squirting water on everybody, and I had a camera). The kids had a great time and the gallon ziploc baggies Grandma gave them to collect their candy was almost to small to handle their large cache. After the parade we went up to Tridell to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa Merkley, Scott set up their trampoline and the kids got some suckers from Grandpa's bus stash, we ate lunch there and got to enjoy some fresh garden peas, and 1 raspberry each. (yum-yum-lucky us!!!) Off then to the Horrocks Pavillion for a BBQ dinner, a boat story wonderfully narrated by Great-Grandma Ada with "props", a kids parade of 4-wheelers with our very own Grand Marshall leading the pack in her golf cart; Ada Horrocks aka Great-Grandma. Following the parade was the sparkler show and then topping off the night, a wonderful display of fireworks with the Roosevelt fireworks show in the background. I loved this day filled with family, fun, food and fireworks :)
