Happy 4th of July! We started the holiday weekend with the annual trip to Hillsboro for the Happy Days parade - aka the Hillsboro Hard Candy Parade. The boys have the parade wave down and are showered (and often pelted) with handfuls of star mint and butterscotch candy, the occasional tootsie roll or smarties pack mixed in. It's the same every year -I only care about the Reeser's float which throws beef sticks and the Hank's giant shopping cart which throws mini loaves of bread!
We went to a bbq last night and came back home for Pyro-time. THe boys made the trip to Vancouver during the week to buy the 'real' fireworks for our backyard display. Nate was particularly excited about the Blizzard and Ian loved the Bat fireworks that flew up in the air (super safe - not! Thank goodness it just rained because one is on our roof and one is in a large tree!)
Milestone - the boys wanted to stay up until midnight and we let them! Crazy parents - we must have had way too much to drink! Both literally hit the pillow like zombies. We'll see how this day goes.
This morning we wake to a nice burned spot in the grass and the carnage of the leftover shells. Totally worth it!
