Is it really happening.........

Ever since I moved here having fireworks in the heat of summer has always been strange to me. I mean I grew up with hats, scarves and coats standing around the bonfire with Guy Fawkes watching the fireworks on Guy Fawkes night, November 5th.

With 2 US children I am slowly but surely getting used the the July 4th celebrations. We begun the annual tradition of attending the parade in our home town. Bambeano loves the fire trucks and Booboo loves the candy throwing and all the other goodies that come our way.

Thankfully this year it was a little cooler. We had our friends join us in our usual spot and watched the floats go by.

After all the fun of the parade we decided to take a trip the neighborhood pool, unfortunately Bambeano and his snorkel did not mix well and after swallowing gallons of pool water he proceeded to throw up, of course he had to do it in the pool. Caddyshack moment!!!!! The pool was evacuated and closed for an hour. Fastest pool time recorded all of 10 minutes and Papa didn't even make it time.

Happy July 4th!!!!!
