Fourth of July!!

Happy 4th! The Fourth of July is deifinitely one of the highlights of a Juneau summer. This year was no exception. The fireworks start at midnight (on the 3rd) because it isn't dark enough until then. They shoot them off from a barge in the middle of Gastineau Channel. It had been a nice day but got a little rainy just in time for the fireworks. It wasn't too bad though and we still had a blast. Before the fireworks started we went to see Transformers. We bought our tickets a week in advance so we were excited that the time finally came. And it was bargain night so the tickets were only $7.50 instead of $9.50! It was a really good movie and I think it was the highlight of Greg's week. He wanted to watch it again as soon as it was over.

This morning was the big parade! It was fun becaus it went right by Alaska Apparel so we just rolled out our office chairs and waited for it to start. It was the most interesting parade we have ever seen. To top the day off we got caramel apples (the 4th is the only day you can get them in Juneau)! They were so good and messy!! The only thing that could have made it better was some sunshine, but we are in Alaska so rain is to be expected!
