Busy 4th of July


Happy 4th of July!! Alex wanted to show Zachary the ropes at the parade, so we scheduled a later flight to Seattle in order to catch the festivities. We scoped out a different location to watch from this year. It was earlier in the parade, but more crowded. Since we had to leave before the end in order to catch the flight to Seattle, it was better to be closer to the start. We saw both local high school bands, the dancing Mexican horses, and some other random and crazy things. Alex scored a lollipop, so he was happy for the day.

We have grown weary of taxi companies not showing up as scheduled, and waiting for buses that don't come either, so we tried a new transportation option...a limo! No, seriously. Alex was amused and kept saying "Zach ride forward. Mom ride backward. Dad ride backward. I ride forward" and so on. They arrived right on time, were friendly, and provided a fun experience!

I also enjoy the 'car phone' in the back. Do they still make those?!

Word verification: untano As in, if I went to Mexico the locals would say I'm relatively untano.
