It is often said here in the Northwest that summer truly starts (weather wise) on the fourth of July and this year it was true. We had beautiful weather for the silly Tumwater parade--we couldn't talk Ryan into joining us--so the kids and I set off to enjoy the VERY small town, yet festive, parade. Later in the day we had good friends for a BBQ and then over to the fireworks show. Happy Birthday America!!
