4th of July was such a fun/busy day. We actually had overlapping visitors (definitely feeling popular this summer). Uncle David arrived the day before and Aunt Susan and cousin Tori were arriving that day.
We headed up to Virginia City that afternoon to watch the parade. Kelsey had to head off to work shortly after the parade started so we found a place to sit not to far from her work so she could watch with us for a bit.
Some of us were getting anxious for the candy to start showering the street...which again this year they did not disappoint.
I love this small town parade, and along with all our favorites, they had a few new entries this year. This old fire truck complete with Dalmatian was one of my favorites.
I also enjoy seeing the veterans honored in the parade.
The boys favorite was watching the horse slip in the donkey doo...yeah that happened. We also got to see our cute little friends cheering their way down main street.
After the parade we headed home to wait for Aunt Susan and Tori to arrive before we fired up the barbecue. We watched the hot dog eating contest on t.v. and talked about how many hot dogs we thought we could eat. We grilled up some dogs and ate (a few less than we speculated we could). We visited, and some of us slipped in a nap...
Before sunset we headed back up to Virginia City to find just the right spot to watch the fireworks.
We lit up the night with glow sticks galore,
and "oh snap" it was a good time.
Once the show started it was a bit slow going and we weren't sure when the finale was finally happening. Kelsey was still working until halfway through the firework show, luckily all she had to do was walk outside to see it. Perk of the job I guess. Another spectacular 4th!
