Happy 4th of July!

We were at the cabin for the 4th of July this year. It is a tradition for our family to go to the 4th of July breakfast at Brighton and then be in the parade after breakfast. We got there early this year so we didn't have to stand in much of a line. After breakfast, we went back to the cabin to decorate bikes and Granddad's truck for the parade. When we got back to the ski resort for the parade, we noticed that there weren't the usual amount of cars and trucks lining up for the parade. We found out from someone that it was in the paper that there wasn't going to be a parade this year due to no parade permit. That was a little heartbreaking for us since we have been doing the parade for as long as I can remember. We decided to have an unofficial parade and everyone that showed up did our own little parade. There was still tons of people there to watch so I think this no permit thing won't last. The kids love riding in the back of the truck and throwing candy to the people watching the parade. After the parade it is over we like to go back to the cabin and visit with whatever family shows up. That night we went to the Bees game. Jaxon's baseball team got to go out on the field with the players and go on a tour of the dugout and the players clubhouse. We had a great time! What an awesome way to celebrate the 4th. What's more american than a baseball game with fireworks after?
