In the past we've celebrated the 4th of July in Idaho Falls, here in Arizona (we do some things here - too dang hot, but it's always the day before or 2 days before.....weird. and NO fireworks). This year we being in Richland, naturally I thought we'd spend it with my family.......wrong. Sister and brother (not sure about the other 2) headed to Salt Lake and my parents went to Idaho?! What the craziness?! So with plenty of time and nowhere to go, I decided to go to Portland.....logical right? Called my BFF there and she loves me enough to just drop in with my 4 kids in tow and whomever I can get to join me. Turns out Aubrey was available. :) We went to the parade in Hillsboro with favorite Aunt Debbie, Jessie and her kids too.
Note: sitting at the beginning of the parade is where all the treats are - people are still happy to be in the parade. :)
btw: it's not about the candy, treats, and fliers, it's a beautiful tribute to our War Vets, our free Country and all we get to have as citizens of this great country. I might tear up at every flag and Veteran that walked by - love this great nation.
minor league baseball mascot - HOPS.
These next two 'floats/cars' cracked me up. politics.....sheesh
aww, that's so nice.
BAM!
hahaha!
the over-enthusiastic and melting crowd - beautiful warm day (Jessie, Debbie, Aubrey)
