A Very Rainy 4th

Happy Rainy 4th of July.  We didn't let the rain get us down too much.  We managed to be in a parade and light a few fireworks.  Granted, were weren't barbecuing and running around with sparklers but we made the most of it. 
We have had rain everyday for over a week.  I have to say, I am over it.  It would have been nice for the clouds to part for our countrys Independence day but that wasn't the case.
I serve on the Montreat Landcare Committee and was asked to be the "bear" in the parade.  Since everyone else in the the committee is 70 years old or older, I took one for the team and said I would wear the costume. 
Josh and the kids were in the parade as well.  They loved it and didn't mind a few raindrops.
 
 
Getting ready for the parade to start.

 
Even though it was in the 60's, that costume was HOT

 
Josh and the boys got to ride in a $90,000 car.  It was an all electric Tesla.  Talk about fancy.

 
My professor, Dottie, was the bear handler.  I couldn't see a thing with that head on.

 
How pathetic....Setting fire crackers off in the pouring rain.

 
Can you see the few measly sparks?
