Coronado is my favorite place in the world to celebrate the 4th of July so was SO excited that we were moved into our house by the 4th and could just wake up and WALK to the parade/festivities.
Staking out your parade route spot is an adventure. The "rules" state you can't put anything down until 5 a.m. (Parade starts at 10). Rumor has it people started at 4:30 a.m this year. I did a run in the morning so told Dave I wold put out some blankets/chairs on my way to the start of the run. I was 3 rows back at 6:30 a.m.
Nani spent the night on the 3rd and went with Dave and the kiddos down to the park to watch me finish my run. They ran into Poppa and our family friends, the Buckleys, on our walk back to the house.
My cheerleaders :)
We came back to our house for breakfast and then headed to the parade
Poppa and Cole walking to the parade
Nani and Lynne with Cole and Sydney
They both LOVED the parade and talk about it every time we get off the bridge and drive across the parade route
Surfing with Poppa after the parade
After naps, we headed to the playground
And enjoyed cookies from Ms. Pamela and Mr. Todd
And then enjoyed fireworks... from our couch... at 7:30 p.m. :) We were all tired and the thought of walking down to the bay at 9 to watch fireworks didn't sound so appealing. The kids didn't know differently and loved it!!!
Happy 4th of July!
