Fun 4th

We were eager to experience a holiday in a different part of the country. Things here definitely feel different. Our first stop was the annual parade. Like most parades it was filled with music and candy and all the old cars anyone would care to see. The difference here was that it was almost 90 degrees at 10 am. Here are the highlights


Avery showing his American spirit



Alia enjoying her frisbee


People warned us about the golf carts but this is out of control


Not to be outdone, Alia showing her spirit


Next, we decided to visit a neighboring town.


Since this town is known for "having homes" we had high expectations for their annual "home made ice cream festival. We tried all 4 flavors and liked them all.

After a morning of candy and ice cream we decided a nap was in store. Then after being well rested we went to a BBQ and sat and watched the fireworks. Both Avery and Alia loved them. Brandee and I did too.
