4th of July , 2009
We woke up to rain and I wasn’t excited about sitting through a July 4th parade in the rain. Mark had already decided to Jake to Gowrie and the two of them had a special time at the parade and carnival. I took Luke and Jayden to Williams. We packed rain coats and umbrellas and drove an hour in rain. It was perfect, the rain stopped just in time for the parade and never started up again. It was chilly, and we all wore coats. We sat near Wade, Carina, Alivia, and Grandma. Grandpa was in the parade carrying the flag for the legion as he does every year. The parade was pretty short and not too exciting. Then, it was on to the park. SO many familiar faces everywhere. It is always fun to see how people have changed and yet how they stay the same. I ran into Jamie Griemer that I had gone to college with. It was fun catching up with her. Jayden had the most fun with her friends Santana 12, (Carina’s sister), and Megan DeDecker 11. The girls went through the park playing games and riding rides together. I took Luke and went to Mom’s for a nap. In the evening, Mark and I met up at Anderlik’s for Maggie’s 8th birthday celebration. Jayden stayed overnight at Grandma’s for a couple more nights and saw her first big display of fireworks. She really enjoyed it. Mark and Jake had fun at the Gowrie celebration and Jake acquired two goldfish that he named Blacky and Goldie. He was pretty thrilled. We will see how long they last.
