4th Fun Downtown

We took the kids downtown (which is really in North Anchorage - so why is it called downtown?! this has been puzzling me for years and years) to watch the big parade yesterday.

It was a zoo. We parked far away from the action (far away in Kara speak probably isn't really that far - but I'm not a walker!). It was okay though. Who needs strollers when you can hang on to a Dad?!


We had a pretty good view. We had to wait a bit for the parade to start. The kids were quite excited!


We saw lots and lots of cars and motorcycles. Old cars, new cars, super fancy cars, ... we saw some floats, some clowns, some dogs and reindeer and even a few donkeys.



Afterwards we checked out some of the many gorgeous flower displays that downtown has. Aren't they pretty?!


It was a fun time!
