Happy 4th 2012

The parade ran right in front of our apartment complex. So we set our chairs out in front of our house until we had a more brilliant idea.

We moved the truck and sat in the back of it in our parking lot. You can see how people camped out the night before. Seriously ridiculous.

The truck turned out to be a perfect place to look over the tops of all the tents to see the parade.

We ate hotdogs and drank root beer while we watched all the floats.

Serena and Chelsea joined us. 

The 4th wouldn't  be complete without some kind of frozen treat.!

We also watched the stadium fireworks from our balcony. But my camera broke and decided to turn off every time we tried to take a picture. But the stadium fireworks were also very cool.
