4th of July

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

For the 4th of July this year we visited our friends - The Woika's in Manzanita, OR (at the beach).

Each year in Manzanita there is pancake breakfast put on by the high school to raise money for the athletic department. Everyone from town comes out for it. It is one of the highlights and is becoming a tradition with our family.

After the pancake breakfast the street is lined with lawn chairs for the Manzanita parade. It is such a cute, totally small town America parade...I love it. They even still throw candy to the kids and the parade route is not that long, that the front of the parade ususally catches up to the back of the parade.

Here Rose and Daddy waiting for the parade to start.

Daisy, Rosie's friend, and Rose are playing with Play Doh, instead of napping, after the parade. Two little girls the age of two and no nap....needless to say we did not make it to the fireworks that night.

Instead, we taped the fireworks and watched them on TV on July 5th. The girls loved it.
