Happy 4th of July!

For Independence Day we went to the town parade in the morning, then to a little carnival/fair/lunch thing at the park. Then at night we went back to the park to watch the fireworks. It was a great show!

This was the first "double-sided" parade I had seen. At the end of the route, the floats turned and went back along the parade route to the beginning.

The kids loved getting lots of candy at the parade.
At the end they also had a few fire trucks spray water at them.

If you look closely you can see the red rock cliffs in the background.
They shot the fireworks off right up next to the mountain. It was really pretty.
