The Parade

July 23rd is the annual parade and celebration for our town. We celebrate by meeting at Foxwood (thank you Skee) and watching the parade in the most intense heat known to man. We sweat our brains out then head for the hills to watch MPJH do an amazing fireworks show.

This year the parade weather did not disappoint, so hot you could cook an egg. The sun was blasting us for about an hour then the blessed clouds started to give us relief, that and the squirt bottles J brought with her. Skee made sure that everyone was properly wet and hydrated. In a battle of the water I was victor over him, taking out his left eye and ear drum (even though he made it look like I wet my pants!) And thanks to the brilliance of Angie the kids had all the otter pops they could eat!

Hayden was there with P, Hunter brought J, and Harley brought M. This was a brilliant idea on my part, each one of them had fun and there was NO complaining! We had a lot of fun at the parade and the kids got A TON of candy.

After the parade we headed up to the Parry's for a BBQ, Ice cream, and fireworks. The kids had a lot of fun, we talked baseball, football, and football, and baseball until 1am!! Needless to say we slept in on the 24th!
