4th of July in TC

For the first time in a very long time I am home for the 4th.  Usually Cherry Festival starts after the fourth but this year it is over the fourth.  So we are in TC enjoying Cherry Fest and today we celebrated the 4th.  It wasn't much of an eventful day.  We were pretty lazy this morning, I finished the book I was reading, oh it was good.  We headed downtown late this afternoon to get some seats for the parade tonight.  Thankfully my parents got us some great seats, in the shade.  It was very nice.  We killed some time by doing a few more rides today at the Arnold's Amusements and then I did a little shopping.  We enjoyed some American traditions for dinner, chili dogs and corn dogs from House of Dogs, my hubby loves that place.  We watched the parade and headed home to wait for fireworks.  The kids had another idea, they must be over tired so we bagged the fireworks for tonight as we will see them Saturday  night for the Cherry Festival Finale.  They weren't too happy with us and there were some tears but it was a wise choice.  I am exhausted.  Here are a few pics of our day!
