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!

Nothing better than seeing fireworks over the water. What a fun experience.
Happy 4th ya'll! Wish we could've been there too.
Gorgeous firework pictures! I've always wanted to see a big fireworks show like that over water, and my mouth is watering looking at your carmel apples. Thanks alot for that one!
Hey! Happy 4th to you too! Our fireworks were behind Holladay Elementary and they were also spectacular, but it is always the accompanying music that gets to me as we are reminded of the sacred destiny of this nation.
We would like some of your rain. Temperatures in St. George have been around 110 for the past week and more to come! Celebrate Juneau!!!
I too saw Transformers opening night and loved it. So much to celebrate and be grateful for around the 4th, I think I may have to continue celebrating and get me a caramel apple. MMM mmm!
