Fourth of July

This year we were not able to attend the Garrett Family Reunion. Instead we went to the Fernley Fourth of July Parade.

We had to get there early. So there was lots of time to get excited (and antsy) for all of the parade fun. We made friends with the kids next to us and shared the responsibilities of getting the candy that was thrown in our area.
All in all it was a good day. Brownie didn't like the sirens from the emergency vehicles any more than any of our kids have. I suppose we should have known better.

After the parade we went home and went swimming. We ate a huge dinner and then we watched the fireworks from the roof of the house. It wasn't as exciting as watching the fireworks at Uncle Jim's house, but it wasn't as dangerous, either (Some of our cousins's get a little bit crazy).
