4th of July




Fourth of July in Manzanita is kind of hilarious as there is nothing more classic than a small town parade. Henry is particularly funny as he feels compelled to yell cheers of support for each parade participant...things like "I like your bike" OR "Nice wheels" are examples of things that he yells out. The key to the Manzanita parade, for the kids, is the candy that everyone throws....90% of which is a choking hazard. I am going to the parade board...watch out. Henry has counted his candy inventory and created a spreadsheet (not joking) of how many he has of each candy.

The fireworks were great this year...but didn't start until 10 PM...which kind of a killer for a parent of newborn. At first Francie was scared of the loud sounds...but then she warmed up and was in heaven. She must have yelled "Happy Fourth of July!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" about 25 times during the firework show.
