We know it’s a bit after the fact but we thought we would tell tales of our fun fourth.
Every year our neighbors have a Fourth of July BBQ. Last year the chicken they made was amazing, so we were looking forward to it this year. They did not disappoint. Though, Magnus is not sure how he feels about the sun yet.
After eating, we walked the two blocks to the Fort Vancouver 4th of July Celebration. They had events all day long, but we wanted to see the Abraham Lincoln press conference. It was part of the commemoration of 150 years since the Civil War began, since the army barracks here were in operation during that time.
It was fun to listen to him talk as if it was 1865 and the war was just ending. We even got to meet him after the press conference.
We then walked back home to wait until it got dark to come back and see the fireworks. By the time we came back the place was really filling up. Luckily, Anton had a friend who came and saved a great spot at about 6 AM (Thank you, Crystal).
Here we are waiting for the show:
My dad was nice enough to brave the lines and get some delicious elephant ear for us.
Fireworks!
After the show, we got home quick enough to see our neighbors doing their own firework display.
So, we ate some great food, celebrated our history and saw lots of fireworks…it was a good 4th of July.
