Happy Birthday America!

Yeah this post is a bit late but Ive been busy.
We had a wonderful 4th of July. The weather was perfect and we had great company and fun activities.
We started the day off with some friends by going out to breakfast. We then went to the parade.

This was pretty cool. Fallen Heros Will Never Be Forgotten. Everybody was standing up for respect of the fallen heros and clapping as each picture walked by. There was probably a good 50 pictures from all over the Puget Sound.

When the marching band went by Ariana was marching and loving the marching band. I was telling our friends that Ariana is my daughter she has marching in her blood as myself and all my siblings were involved in the marching band at high school.

Then there are the stilt walkers, and clowns and acrobats that we always enjoy watching.

The parade lasted 1 hour 40 minutes. We always enjoy going to Everett city 4th of July because they always go huge! So after the parade we went to Legion Park with our friends and ate lunch and let the girls play at the park, jump in the bouncy houses, and blow bubbles.

Our friends were not able to stay the whole day so we made plans to head out when they left and go hang out with some families from our church at a park a mile south of Legion Park. We had fun chatting and waiting for the fireworks.
While waiting for our friends to arrive we called Ariana's friend in Utah.

This is a picture of Ariana talking on Will's phone while playing a game on my cell phone.
