Happy 4th of July!

It has been extremely smokey here in Nevada County because of all the fires. But miraculously it cleared up enough for us to really enjoy the 4th of July. One of the many, many great things about living in Nevada City is being so close to Broad Street. This year we were able to walk to town to watch the parade. It was so much fun! The kids loved it. Jack especially loved the trucks. This is a little goofy looking, but I really love the Statue of Liberty. So there she was in all her glory riding down Broad on the back of truck!

A great shot of the pink hair.
My very patriotic son waving his little flag.
We even saw our pal Harry riding on the volunteer Sheriff's float!
After the parade and nap time we headed to our friend's the Hadley's. The live on a hill just above Lake Wildwood and had a great view of the fireworks from their house. The kids had a blast in their poolTeri, who is amazing in many ways, made red and blue star shaped ice cubes to put in our seltzer water. Yummmmm.Green and purple fireworks reminded us of New Orleans. They were beautiful.
