Ok, I'm gonna try and get caught up again. We'll see how it goes.
Since the 24th of July landed on a Saturday this year, we decided to take the kids downtown and camp out to see the 24th of July parade. This was the first time for me and the kids. We met up with some of my friends from work and their kids Friday night and set up camp.
We spent the night talking, playing games, reading and just enjoying one anothers company. We did end up setting up next to some interesting people and it seemed a time or two to be in the middle of a gang war with the cops stopping by to talk to our neighbors, but overall had a great night.
We even got free breakfast out of it. Some people left their canopy and chairs and asked us to keep an eye on it for them and they brought us bagels the next morning.
The kids had such a great time hanging out, but I was glad when we got done. Of all the fun we had, we didn't get much sleep. We are thinking we might have a go at it next year too.
Here are some pictures of our fun...

A little bit of what we saw...

| The policemen/women all were wearing mustaches. Guess it's some kinda tradition. It was funny to see. |

Some of the floats and such...
There were sure an amazing bunch of floats. The only thing that would have made it better...more sleep and not so much heat.
