I'm Not That Patriotic, I Just Like Explosives
Normally I can take parades or leave them - they're fun, but not anything I'd go out of my way to catch, especially when the temperature starts hitting the mid-90s. I do, however, make an exception for the Corrales 4th of July parade. My mom and I and her sister and my cousins have been going to that one since I was a wee thing, and it is my FAVORITE, because it is very informal and very, very silly and just WONDERFUL.
( We didn't even get any pictures of the bikers )
After the parade we had lunch with the boyfriend's family, and then I came back to my dad's for dinner and an evening of watching the fireworks. We had rain on friday night, so I guess people decided the fire danger could be damned, because there are still a ton going off. We did our best to contribute to the din with our own stash of explosives. All in all, a good 4th of July.
