4th of July 2013

Ready to run.

We started out our Fourth of July with a morning run by the greenbelt. After our run we headed downtown for the parade.  It was kind of a random parade and I think our favorite parts were the two dogs Brooklyn got to pet while waiting for it to start and seeing her wave around her little American flag.

Watching the parade go by.

Waving her little American Flag.

After a morning nap for little girl we headed over to Ann Morrison park where all the festivities where going on.  Earlier in the day they had artists come and compete in a sidewalk chalk competition. We walked around viewing the art, spent some time at the playground and next to the huge fountain to cool of,f and then headed over to the stage to listen to a local band with our italian ice.

What's more American than processed white bread with jelly on top?

Happy Birthday Boise!

Ariel and Dory.

Isn't it crazy this is drawn from chalk?!

This picture is precious.  Brooklyn holding on to her Grandpa Harold's arm.

Cooling off from the heat with an italian ice.

That night we grilled dinner and watched the fireworks in New York City live on t.v.  I was an old bum and went to sleep before dark so missed the fireworks here.
We loved having Thomas off work for the day in the middle of the week and celebrating our freedom.
