July 4th

Katie, Luke, and I rode with Scott on the firetruck again in the 4th of July parade. The kids sat in one of the jump seats and handed me candy to throw to parade on-lookers. We could not have asked for better weather...except in my Juneau-ite mentality...it was TOO HOT! But at least it wasn't raining. Here are a few pictures of the fire crew waiting for the parade to start.

3rd of July activities

In a lightbulb moment...Mel and I decided that we should stay at on the of the downtown hotels the night of July 3rd and not have to drive downtown and back twice in 8 hours. We are so smart sometimes. We took the kids to dinner at the hanger then stayed at the Juneau Hotel. The weather was perfect for fireworks viewing even if the hotel parking lot was not. I ended up watching the fireworks on t.v. since 3 of the 4 kids would/could not wake up. It was a great outing with the kids!
