Red White and Blue - Wahooo Wahoo!

The fourth of July was great this year - it started with close to 2 dozen hot air balloons at 6am, watching them be filled and then lifting off. Then we went down to wait for the gigantic parade that came by our stakeout place around 9:30 and ended about 11:00. I got to see my teacher and give her a hug when Freedom Academy's fire truck went by. They also had an alien Primary Children's float that I liked, too. Then we went home to rest and went over to eat and light fireworks at Grandma and Grandpa's house. They're in a culdesac, so we don't have to worry about cars driving by. There was one that sent up parachutes that we had to run to catch and Dad said that something that fun should probably be illegal. I love the USA!
