Our usually routine for the 4th of July every year is:
1. Get woke up before I want to by the cannons being shot off in the morning
2. Hurry and get ready to go to the parade because it's 10:25 and the parade starts at 10:30
3. Get to the parade and sit in the hot sun for 45 min before the parade starts because it never ever starts on time.
4. Enjoy the small town parade
5. Linger at mom and dads while everyone plays outdoor games and gets ready for the evenings bbq
6. Have a delicious bbq
7. Watch Bro. Slack set off fireworks with his grandkids
8. Finally gather in the backyard with blankets and chairs to watch the fireworks!
Well thats not at all how it was this year but we still had fun. We are in Washington this year and this is how it went
1. got up about 10:00 had breakfast
2. hung out with Krew just like any other day while Kris was at work
3. Kris got home we had put on a small bbq at our place and had a few guys he works with come over and then Kris lit some small fireworks with Krew.
4. THE Best part Fireworks that went on all around us for at least 2 hours. We had about 5 firework show we got to watch at once because they are legal here so everyone lights the huge ones at home. It was pretty awesome.
So even though this year was as eventful as it usually is we had fun celebrating the holiday with our small family and Krew had a blast.

Sounds like you had fun. We sure missed you. This year we did go up to the mtn. and cooked breakfast. Travis and the kids had camped up there Friday night.
Washington 4th of Julys sure are different, aren't they? Personally, I was always a little annoyed by the amount of fireworks people would set off especially when they did it until the wee hours of the morning... Looks like you guys found a way to enjoy it anyway. )
I'm a little late ... but it sounds like you had a nice holiday. It's so much more fun when fireworks just go up around the neighborhood.
That sounds like fun! It is so true, as long as you are with your loved ones, it doesn't matter where you are! What are you doing in Washington?
I guess we haven't officially caught up on each other's lives. You live in WA, right? How long have you been there?
