To celebrate the 4th of July we decided to avoid the traffic and parking issues by riding our bikes down to Bothell to watch the Grand Parade. Keep in mind that I said ride our bike down because that means we also have to ride back up to get home. At more than 1:45 minutes, this was the longest parade that I think I have ever attended. My favorite participant was probably the rubber chicken society. I am not even sure what this group does but they did walk down the street with rubber chickens.
Caedan was very excited to score his very own mail truck from the mailman in the parade.
This is the 'loot' that we scored after that very hot 1:45 minutes at the parade. I am wondering if it would be bad to save this for Halloween!
After the parade we head to Home Depot for this big purchase. When you are on your bike you can only buy small things. After Home Depot we head home which means that we had to ride back up our hill! 18.5 miles later and we were back home to enjoy the sun.
The kids cooled off in the sprinkler.
