I dropped off the van at the shop yesterday to get it ready for our road trip at the end of the week and it ended up needing some stuff done to it so we were car-less for the parade this morning. (Craig did the Burn Your Buns bike ride again so he took his car to that and we didn't get to cheer him on.) The kids did a great job on the walk (Henry strolled) and it wasn't as hot as it was in 2010 when Sarah was so hot that she "sweated her temporary tattoo off."
We stayed up late for the fireworks (Henry's first time) and the kids were super-impressed even though Sarah wanted to go home and go to bed once it was dark out and she was scared of the noise once they got started. I wasn't going to let her miss out though since she was so disappointed last year when there were no fireworks because of the drought. Henry was amazed by the whole experience and fell asleep in the stroller on the way back to the car.
