Eddie and I have had the longest day. We woke up at 3:45 AM to be awake and scan Center Street for a spot for the parade. They set a new ordinance this year that you can't set anything up on the grass until 5 a.m. Eddie was a little nervous about not getting a spot so we went super early and good thing we did. We arrived on Center St. about 4 a.m. there were people sitting on the sidewalk waiting for 5 a.m. to roll around. So, I dropped him off...went back home for an hour...did some laundry....went back to the spot...he went home and showered and came back with Tanner, this was all before 6 a.m. by the way. Then I went and got ready for the day, picked up some Beto's burritos and waited until 9 a.m. for the parade to start. Thanks Sue, Frank, Elania and Kaden for joining us. We had a blast!! Probably Eddie's favorite part of the parade. People think he is some sort of Polynesian , so he claims to be a pacific islander. Too bad he is from the island of Oregon and not Hawaii.

Glenn Beck was in our parade...I had to get a picture for my brother Erik.

Then we headed just east of our house and watched the fireworks. It was super windy but felt nice since it was still pretty warm.

Eddie and Tanner talking about soccer to past the time.

Happy 4th of July!!
