We started our day off going to the We the People parade in downtown Boise. It was Sophie and Camden's first parade. Sophie had a blast (and Camden slept). Sophie got a cute little American flag that she waved around all morning, and she also learned to pick up the candy that was tossed onto the sidewalks.
At about 7pm, we decided to light off the family fireworks, which included more smoke bomb, snakes, sparklers, and a few tanks. Glenn had gotten some of the giant sparklers, and Sophie was enthralled! She loved all the fireworks.
We then decided to take the kids to the big city fireworks in the park. It was packed, but we managed to find a nice spot in the grass to hang out until they started. Sophie had a blast, that is until the fireworks started! They were so loud! I don't remember them being that loud when I was younger. Poor Sophie clung to Glenn the whole time and wouldn't look at them. She begged to go home. I felt horrible. Camden slept through the first half, then awakened to happily watch the last half. Sophie was so relieved when they were over!
After returning home at 11:11pm, we finished off the last of the sparklers to end the experience on a good note, then crawl exhausted into bed.
