Happy Independence Day

Not much happened on the house today (ok, nothing happened on the house today)  Finn was able to walk in the parade with Poppi and he had a great time.  They walked with the Mountain Community Fire Safety Group.  The group specifically was called the "Woodies" which is a group that volunteers to help with wood cutting for people that need assistance in the community.  The toy chain saw that was mentioned earlier in this blog, also made cameo appearance in the parade.  Since we have never been in Idyllwild for a 4th of July celebration, we were surprised by the scope of the event.  There were over 70 entries into the parade and hundreds of spectators.  The number of people that lined North Circle was amazing.  It was really fun seeing some many people from our community either involved in the parade or spectating.

After the parade, Finn was bushed and fell asleep in the stroller on the walk home.  So as soon as he woke, we headed to Daniel and Margaret Gray's house for a cook out.  Despite the ominous clouds that swirled around us all day, the drops didn't come until late in the night.  Of course there were no fireworks in Idyllwild but we managed to see a few on tv which satisfied the only lacking part of the day.  All in all, it was a fantastic day.
