Jeff took Zach down in the morning to the end of our street where they have the annual 4th of July parade. Our friends Robb and Pat and Rudy were in the parade, so they waited with baited breath for their arrival.
There were horses, balloons, fire trucks...BIG firetrucks as Zach later informed me. He had a great time! Of course, the best thing about the parade is the location! When it was over the boys just walked home. You can't beat that!
Some fireworks shows in our area got cancelled (money problems) so there were only two locations to see the shows. One was at Castaic Lake, where we used to live. Way too far and too many cars for 30 minute entertainment. Plus, parking would be a bear...something we never had to worry about when we lived there. The only other venue was by the mall, so the boys left around 8:15 to catch the 9:15 show. (I again stayed home. Yay for me.) Jeff got lucky with parking and set up the camping chair on a grassy area with about 100 other people. He said the place was crazy packed and he couldn't believe how many people were there. Zach brought his ball and played with a group of older kids. He also climbed a tree and basically ran amok. When the fireworks started he sat with Daddy and was mesmerized! He loved them, which we knew he would because we watched them in Hawaii and he loved it then!! Daddy and Zach had a great time, went to bed late and slept in this morning.
Patriotism at it's finest
