The 4th

We had a great time just hanging around town for the 4th of July. Our parents always try to talk us into coming down to Puyallup, but we have established our own traditions up here! In the morning we go to the edmonds parade. It takes some waiting to get a good seat (and coffee), but the kids LOVE the parade. Getting candy thrown at them by strangers is even easier than trick or treating.





After a nap at home we go the the city park for a picnic dinner and firework show with friends. So much fun to get our kids together year after year. I can't believe how fast all of our babies are growing up! We usually give up arounf 9pm, but this year we cane prepared with extra blankets and made it for the fireworks! Gracie ended up being terrified, they were "too loud and too close and too bright and NOT like the ones in Disneyland!" Oh well.
