Independence Day

I decided to do something different for the 4th of July, so we went to Coeur D'Alene to goof around. We wanted to get there in time to go to the parade. Luckily Janel has some family friends that live up there, the Smiths. We were able to hook-up with them for the low-down on parade parking. We had some down-time before the parade started, so we chilled in the park.

The parade was pretty good. Not as good as Apple Blossom but good.

We didn't stay for the Coeur D'Alene fireworks because it's just a zoo down there, so we went to the Hayden Lake one instead. We sat out on a dock on the lake so we could really get the full effect. It was fun.

Afterwards we went back to the Smith's for some fireworks of our own. We stopped at a firework stand before, but everything we so expensive that I didn't get too much. I did get some of the usual though, grown flowers, strobes, etc.
