Fourth of July in Beaverton!

Mike and I headed up to Beaverton in time for the annual 4th of July Parade and a family trip to the beach with Carol's sister, Christine and brother's, Clark and Lorne - they were visiting from Canada. Although we didn't ride unicycles this year we did walk the parade, offering our hand for riders to mount their cycles and for photography support. Paul G. rode a tall unicycle (not the tallest, which I think was 9 feet), Paul W sported his fancy hat, Peggy rode while pushing Baby Zachary in his first parade and Gene rode while juggling pins. As soon as Peggy sends along some photos I'll post them so you can see everyone.

That afternoon we had a teaser fireworks session with pop-its and sparklers. Caleb learned quickly to throw the pop-its at your feet and command you to "Dance!!" Caleb, Andy, Clark and Lorne had a great time!

That evening we had a much bigger fireworks display in Paul and Anna's cul de sac with their neighbors. Paul put on a good show and the boys were wide-eyed with the showering of colors, whistles and pops!!
