For the 4th of July we just stayed home! with the exception of the parade we attended here in good old
Tumwater and that crazy trek down to the fish and wildlife place to view the FANTASTIC fireworks!
We started off in a mad dash due to us late risers wanting to attend the parade at 11am. I know, I know that's pretty much noon! how could you not be ready? Well, we have two kids who both had to eat, bathe, and get dressed, then we had the two of us to do the same. If you know my oldest at all you probably already know that she can be dramatic as well as a bit....absent minded..I started her first on the road to get the hay out of the house and she was the LAST one ready! As a mother this is just plain frustrating..what is she going to be like at 16?!? The parade was great and lasted for OVER an hour..doesn't that seem like a longtime? We took our pup Avery to the parade but she was pretty..well not impressed to say the least! After the parade we all came home and of course my husband, Chris and our oldest just HAD to start lighting off fireworks. We had a lovely BBQ which included a yummy crab salad thing that Chris put together but unfortunately he couldn't eat (what a shame..did I mention it was super yummy?) we ended our relaxing 4th in the front yard watching our neighbors set off $300 bucks(ouch!) worth of fireworks and lighting off the ones that we had; oh and a mad dash across a VERY busy street to view the professional fireworks and yes it was totally worth it! Hope everyone had a fab and safe 4th!
