Soggy Independence Day

Oh, it was a wet day! But we rolled with it, and tried to make it memorable. I think we succeeded!

The morning neighborhood parade was postponed until 6pm. We hung out at home and our friends Dena and Natalie joined us. The girls holed up in the basement and played while Dan grilled chicken quesadillas and Dena and I talked while she did her nails. When parade time rolled around, the rain had stopped so we decorated ourselves.

Then we decorated bikes and wagons and gathered the neighbors to parade.

We were about 10 minutes into the parade when the BOTTOM. DROPPED. OUT. We were drenched!

We scattered like roaches in daylight and headed back to our garages. When the rain turned into a light drizzle, we let the kids play in the puddles and run around with umbrellas while the adults changed clothes.

The rain passed, and we hung out until it was time for fireworks in our clubhouse parking lot. That was kind of fun, until the rain halted the fun and we finally gave up and headed home.

Like I said, at least it was memorable!
