or as Braden says "Firework Day!"
We went over to my parent's house last night to light some fun fireworks that they bought. Our plan was to avoid buying fireworks this year and to just to watch some big ones somewhere, but someone decided that the kids needed to watch the little fireworks being set off too - so we did that a night early. On the way there we dug up some change and stopped at a firework stand and purchased 1 "Cricket" firework to add to what my parents picked up. After the fireworks, we watched Confessions of a Shopaholic that we picked up from a RedBox.
This morning we got up and went to see the parade in Downtown Boise. We were able to park in the parking lot behind the building where my mom works and only had to walk a block to the parade route. And we got there just in time to see the beginning of the parade. It was great and the kids really enjoyed it. We forgot to take the camera...
Right now, Braden and Bob are at the cheap theater watching Race To Witch Mountain and I'm supposed to be working. Mylie just went down for a nap. Tonight, we'll head over to Dan & Kayla's for a fun BBQ with my parent's, Kayla's parents, and Kayla's cousin and his family. Afterward, our plan is to head over to Storey Park to watch the fireworks.
Today I am grateful for this wonderful country we have to live in, for the freedoms that we enjoy and for the troops that help to protect those freedoms. God Bless the USA!
