Saw tons of people at the parade. Annie, Ashley, Laura, Brian, Joey, Karen, Carli, Elise, Shelbi, Shelby, hahahaha, C.C., Hannah, and many more. Have you ever seen 5000 golf carts in the same place? All flying flags! So many kids, so many dogs. And horses, and politicians!

We also went to the fireworks tonight. We sat out on the golf course with a few thousand others. Fireworks were spectacular though we were about 3000 feet from the boom. One of the most interesting finales I have ever seen. There was so much in the sky that it looked like bubbling liquid. We saw lots more kids: Brad, Adam, Chris, Gordie, Meghan, Stephanie, Leah, Ashley and her little sister, another Shelby, who will be in Treble next year. A surprise since she is coming back to public from private school. But yea! What great stock she is from. She was excited about being in chorus. There were others seen at a distance.

It rained a bit but it was so warm it was no matter. We got in a huge golf cart traffic jam when trying to leave. I shoulda gone a different way but didn't want to experiment in the dark.
