Our town celebrates the 4
th of July every year on the Saturday before the actual 4
th, which was this past weekend. I have to say they do a really good job with all of the festivities. There is a parade, a bunch of activities and rides at the high school and of course fire works at night. Little did we know when we bought our house that our
neighborhood is prime location for all of the festivities which is really nice. Basically everyone has
bbq's and parties that day as it is a short walk to the parade route and you can see the fireworks from most places in the
neighborhood (most importantly from our deck).
We threw the kids in the wagon and headed down to the parade around noon. An important thing to note is that is was really nice out for the parade, like the sun
wa
s out and I thought that Audrey was going to get burnt. We haven't seen the sun in a LONG time here in Boston so this was a big deal. I wasn't sure what the kids would think of the parade but after a rocky start (both started shaking and crying with opening fire trucks with blaring sirens went by) they seemed to like it. Well
audrey loved it, she danced and clapped and waved the entire parade. Chase was his normal self and hung for awhile until he decided it was a good time for a nap. After the parade we headed home and put Audrey down for a nap. She woke up late so we missed some of the
neighborhood activities but we caught a few later in the evening. We decided to see how late she would stay up and if she could make it to the fireworks at 10 pm then great. Well she made it to the time of the fireworks but
unfortunately they got cancelled due to weather and fog. The crazy thing is last year the weather was the exact same, super foggy, and they did the fireworks and you couldn't see any of them. It was really sad so I was glad they opted the postpone until the next night. We sat on our deck with neighbors and watched then and they were great. Audrey slept
thru them in her bed and Chase slept
thru them on the deck in my arms....
Happy 4
th of July to all!
