This weekend was spent surrounded by family and great friends, and was all-around awesome. On Friday we woke up bright and early to get ready for the parade, which is a must every July 1st in our family. July 1st is also my Momma's birthday, so we always spend it with her, and usually Granny too. We spiffed the doggers up in their bandannas, and made our way down to our old apartment, which is the perfect location to check out all the floats. The weather was beautiful, and we had a great time scooping up candy and waving to everyone we knew. (The dogs had a great time too, and my mom was nice enough to share her freezies).
After that we took my mom and family to Wong's Kitchen for lunch to celebrate my Mom's birthday, and headed home for an afternoon nap. Around 5:00 we headed to Frontier Days for a few hours where we walked around stockade, checked out all the rides (from the ground), easily ate our weight in fair food, visited with a whole whack of people, and spend a bunch on money on cheesy carnie games. The best part of the day was winning my own little minion by popping balloons with darts. After that we went home for a short while and waited to go watch the fireworks. As usual, we headed out to our top-secret location and ended up waiting darn near an hour for them to start. The grand stand entertainment was running late, and after growing very impatient, we called it quits and drove home to hear them being fired off just as we crawled into bed. Sigh.
