Happy Belated 4th of July

The Fourth was a busy holiday for us here in Washington. You'll remember from my previous post that I reported that Ian had learned how to ride his bike. If you look closely at the video, you'll notice that that was without pedals. Well, he decided he wanted me to put the pedals on, and he figured it out!

So Catherine, Leah, and I walked to the local park while Ian (proudly) rode his bicycle. 


Later on, we drove onto Post to catch the fireworks celebration. Not that we really needed too, what with all the Indian fireworks cheaply available (good ones too!). We arrived with plenty of time to spare, so the kids ran around for some time.


We even had to avoid the sprinklers, but our spot was pretty sweet.


Our spot was on the parade ground with Mt. Rainier in the distance. We saw a beautiful sunset followed by a moon rise just over one of Mt. Rainier's shoulders, pretty awesome.


They waited what seemed like forever to finally start the fireworks, but then they put on an enjoyable show. Both Ian and Leah agreed that this was the best night ever! They especially enjoyed the finale:


I hope you all had a great Independence Day! Cheers,

Marc
