July 4th

Yay, the 4th of July parade! I swear the whole town was gathered on the streets. Latter I realized why, this had to be the most fun parade I have ever attended. All of the floats were custom homemade and random. I believe the Raptor Center crew was the liveliest bunch there. We had a blast laughing and crying out to the floats for candy.


-Lincoln Street facing St. Michael's Cathedral.


-Dartanian was there too!




-The Coast Guard flying overhead. This was so cool!




-This float is my very favorite!






-Sporting the traditional native dress.


-Attractive fireman?


-Dachshund in a bun.


-A snow machine.


-Amy looking clueless by our bag full of Candy.

After the parade a bunch of us hiked up to the falls. Steve was crazy and jumped into the ice cold mountain river water. He said it had to be the coldest he has ever been in his life.
