4th of July



The 4th of July celebrations are always fun here in Snoqualmie. The boys rode their decorated bikes in the neighborhood parade to the commons area where loads of inflatables, wall climbing, face painting, a ferris wheel, train rides and free cotton candy, snow cones and popcorn awaited them. We headed for the parade with our neighbors and spent the day enjoying the festivities. Later in the afternoon, we set up a picnic table in the alley and enjoyed a cook-out with the neighbors and our friends Lauren and Troy. Afterwards, Patrick and I supplied homemade ice cream and Lisa made wonderful brownies to top it off. Around 8:30, the men couldn't stand it anymore and herded us all out front where they set off an amazing display of fireworks at the park across the street. It was beautiful and overwhelming! Here we are with our back-door neighbors enjoying the neighborhood train ride.

That sounds like so much fun. Parades, sno cones, cotton candy- Elijah wouldn't know what to do with himself! We had fireworks but that was about the extent of our excitement.

If the little boy looking out of the back of the "train" is Joshua he is a dead ringer for Tommy! What do you think?
