Every year they do a West Seattle Parade, and it starts about 3 blocks awaw from us.  SUPER convenient, and fun for Maya.  Although, I’m not sure how many more years she’ll think it’s cool. The parade ends at a park/viewpoint, and they have vendor sites set up all over that have fun things for kids to do.   They had super fun burlap sack races, but Maya didn’t want to do it, and then quickly got bored.

So…we walked back home. Yup, this is the best family pic we got.  hahaha.

I let her have the sucker that they gave out, and it was all over after that. Meme (my mom) managed to get a little smile from her though! Back at home…sucker all gone. Tried to get one of just us…In all years past, we’ve lit fireworks in front of our house.  To be noted, they are illegal in Seattle.  BUT…we always went around and told our neighbors, and lots even came to watch!

Until last year.  We got a very upset neighbor that yelled at us, and it put a stop to our fun…

Oddly, I can’t find last year’s post? 😦  I know I took pictures, but… Might be due to grumpy dude…
