4th of July

So we had a really great 4th of July. It was a beautiful, sunny day on the Cape. We woke up early that day because the boys were participating in the Sandwich parade with the Cub Scouts. The parade goes through Old Sandwich and was actually a really great parade.



After the parade was over Taylor and I met up with the boys at the Field Day events put on by the town of Sandwich. There are all kinds of water activities to participate in and the Cub Scouts led the National Anthem and Pledge of Alleigence. Of course Travi's favorite was when the fireman attached a sprinkler head to the end of their water hose and make a 50 foot water spout.






We unfortuneately did not see fireworks again this year. I think this is the 5th year in a row. In Kodiak they only shot fireworks off 1 of the 3 years we were there, but it wasn't until about 12:30 am that they do it. Last year we watched them on a TV from our hotel room in Iowa as we moved across country and this year was for nothing other then Trav didn't want to deal with the crowds and traffic. Every weekend on the Cape from Memorial Weekend to Labor Day is flooded with tourists but the 4th of July is just plain crazy. We could not even stomach the thought of dealing with the people. So another year with no show. Maybe next year we will try. The show here on the Cape is supposedly in the top 10 shows in the U.S. So I've been told.

Anyhow, we had a great holiday weekend and Trav has started back to work on 6 months of the night shift. Hope you all had a wonderful Independence Day!!!
