4th of July

We stuck with the traditional events this year for the 4th of July. Started with the kids parade in Kirkland. The kids parade is always very cute, but the actual parade was a bit of a dud. Mostly politicians campaigning, but not in any interesting sort of way, it was is they thought they didn't have to put in ANY effort to get my vote? I would have totally voted for whoever had the best float, but instead all they did was march with signs in their hands. It felt more like a protest than a parade?

Despite the politicians, the kids had fun.
