Good 'Ole 4th of July

This year we headed over to Winthrop to celebrate the 4th of July with Chuck and Robin. We got in late Thursday night which meant we had all day on the 4th and we filled it up! We headed over to the next town over, Twisp, for their parade. It was a classic, small-town, old-fashioned parade and we loved every minute. We got there early to stake out the perfect spot which meant we got to enjoy the pre-parade entertainment of the local line-dancing club. They were awesome! They even did a "country version" of the electric slide which Robin and I joined in on.
The parade was super cute. Lots of candy for the kids (even Cameron participated) and great small town floats. It brought me back to my childhood days. After the parade we headed to the festival down the street where there were tons of activities for the kids. Addy made a fancy hat, a button and a boat! Cameron actually took a nap, but then had fun on the playground and playing with Addy's boat. It was a super fun day and we had visions of heading back for a nap afterwards to relax. Of course, that didn't happen, but the idea was enough to get us through the rest of the afternoon and it was an early night for most of us. The only thing missing were the fireworks (banned there because of dry weather) which we actually didn't miss too much. It's a lot easier to sleep when you don't hear explosions every few minutes. It was a great 4th!
