Chris put on a mini fireworks display yesterday afternoon for us. Then he did an encore presentation for Ally around 9:30pm when it was finally dark outside. He lit a bull whip, two egg-laying hens, some killer bees, and a standing stick that shoots off purple fire. We also messed around with some sparklers. Cora and Ally didn't like the loud popping sounds, but they did enjoy watching the sparks fly.
This morning we dressed in our red, white, and blues and drove out to Pasco for the Fourth of July Parade. We found out that Cora has a fear of horses. She whined "horse, horse!" and cuddled tightly on Chris when they marched by, and there were a lot of them in this parade. Ally enjoyed collecting the candy that was thrown, and she did a very good job staying safe by following Daddy's instruction to not cross the white line in the street. At one point she was running for a piece of candy and stopped dead in her tracks when her toes hit the line. She left the just-out-of-reach candy on the ground and walked away. Way to be obedient!
We didn't see any remarkable mullets this year, but we did spot a girl in a dance troupe who was sporting a comically large pink tutu. We also never saw my paleta man, so no arroz con leche popsicles for me. Sad, but I still enjoyed the parade.

You just needed to go to the neighborhoods, they were always going past our house when we lived there.
