We coped with the high temperatures by spending time at the pool, and sweated it out at a parade the morning of the 4th. Haley loved the marching bands, clowns, cheerleaders, and anyone who threw candy at us. Knowing from our experience at Disneyland that she didn't like fireworks, we were able to drive up to a viewpoint and watch several shows at once. Happy Independence Day!


Haley tests the waters and then works on her tan in the lounge chair.


Haley with her flag - how patriotic!


Smooch!
Haley warily watches home fireworks from a safe distance and with dad as a shield. Even the snakes and smoke bombs were not tame enough for her. Guess she'll never be a pyromaniac...
