One of the best things about July 4th in our neighborhood is how the parade queues up just one street down from us.There is a festive community atmosphere and you may end up following a vehicle like this. The walk to the parade is always interesting and we see friends and family everywhere. Here is a quick tour of some of our Independence Day fun.
There are a lot of patriotic dogs in Mammoth Lakes.
The parade always starts with America's finest
Rough Riders
Olympian Stacy Cook
Beer transportation
Beer Bear...
Pups...
Our fabulous friends S and C with their fellow Girl Scouts...
another super fab friend "K the amazing juggling unicyclist"
climbing/biking fun for the kiddies...
Ruggie loves a parade.
Bikes of all kinds...
Our town trolley
Copter Tours
The Sharks, our swim team.
Cowgirls.
Oh...here comes the squirt guns!
Felici Trio Chamber Music...
Mobile Custom Ski Shop...sooo cool.
Pack Mules...
The Johnson family chose "Troy" as their inspiration this year.
I love the Trojan Horse...Amazing.
Brilliant. The face that launched a thousand ships?
Smokey Bear
Love the water trucks.
Wheee...
As always the parade was small town fantastic. As it finished up we meandered down to the art show and I bought a few new garden stakes after which we took Rugby over to Doggiepalooza at the pet store for some treats and water play. Then through the forest back home to some yummy BBQ. 
Then to top off the entire day perfectly we spent the evening with fabulous friends, food and bouncy house fun for a gaggle of kids. The view of the firework show from our friend's front deck is nothing short of spectacular and best of all we get to spend the night and save the drive home for the next morning. Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays and this year we even had some long time friends stay the weekend with us which made for even more adventure. I hope you all had a great holiday too!
