This was our first and last 4th of July here and Philly and it was a pretty good day overall! We spent it with a group of friends from our ward and we all decided to go to the Philly parade which was kind of lame not going to lie. We probably just had some pretty high expectations and it didn't even come close! But, it was still fun none the less. We got rained on at the parade and it never got hot enough for me to take off my jacket the entire day... Which is VERY unusual around these parts this time of year ....
The start of the parade
Waiting for the parade to start. Thank heavens they handed out these goofy looking hats or we would have been wet for the rest of the day! After the parade we hung around Philly and checked out all the street venders. They also had a free concert with a lot of big time singers but we all didn't really feel like going in the big crowd to the concert so we just played games, talked, and camped out in a park by the Rocky Stairs until the fireworks started.
These fireworks were INCREDIBLE... We read an article somewhere that Philadelphia was number 1 in the nation for fireworks and I believe it. They were unreal! However, Idaho Falls fireworks will always be number 1 in my book no matter what :)
I am so grateful to be living in this great country and for those that have made it possible for me to enjoy this free land which I live.
