Day 12 - independence day!

Happy 4th! We got up early to check out the parade... only to wake up to rain. yuck. but it was still fun, despite the 30 degree temperature difference between states. (i missed the 97 degree weather!!) the kids picked up all of the wet and gooey candy that was thrown from the trucks. (who started that tradition?? its kinda odd if you think about it...) Then, we went back to the house for some 40 year wedding anniversary fun! again, despite the rain. :)
