4th of July

After cold weather and getting screwed up on 4th-of-July activities happening actually on July 3rd, Nick and I settled in for a nice holiday weekend at home. We went to the Fort Vancouver activities where Lilah got to witness her first (very small) parade. She also got to run crazily at a concert, get free toy hand-outs, and see real-life "princesses" (women dressed in vintage 1800s garb).


After stopping at a couple other BBQs, we came home to our own private BBQ with Jake and Carol. We heavily sedated Simon-the-dog, who was so looped he literally couldn't walk straight. So we know he couldn't run either!


Each year we are impressed and nervous at the amount of illegal fireworks Vancouver residents put up. At dark we went over to the local school and had an extensive, front-row-seat firework show. Lilah was not a fan. Much later, we returned home and set up our own fireworks, quickly becoming the neighbors you don't want to have. Maybe we've lived here a little too long....
