4th of July 2021

This post starts at the end of the day works backwards. We enjoyed fireworks at the harbor. Jeremy dropped us off, then parked at his free work parking lot and joined us after we found a spot. 

It was the first firework show we had seen since 2018. That's because in 2029, we just did stuff at the new house trying to get settled from moving to San Diego, and 2020 was shut down. So everyone in our family was super excited to see fireworks. Everyone in the city was super excited, too.

The show was so awesome. There were 4 different island pods on the water that shot off in the harbor, all in sync to each other and to music. A lady in front of us was a little drunk and so excited to see everything. It made the evening extra fun to hear her silly comments. Everyone cheered and clapped and it felt so great to be out and to have some normalcy and to be around so many people.


Earlier that day, we went to Old Town to see some history and appreciate the people before us, since 4th of July is a day to remember our country's history. It was one of the first weekends that the little museums and shops were open since COVID shutdowns, and it was our first time seeing some of the buildings.
The day before 4th of July we went to the beach. It was a little chilly, but a lot of fun. I helped the boys make drip sand castles and I practiced ukulele.
Dallin made us breakfast!
We read lots of books about the 4th of July!
As usual, I had fun wearing festive clothing all week. It was a really great holiday, low key this year as far as parties and guests, and higher key with the big firework show!!
