4th of July in Sitka

Well I must say this was the most fun I have had in awhile on the fourth of July. Michaels mom Jo is here for a visit so it was fun to take her out for the day. There was a fundraiser down at the elementary school with booths for the kids, games etc and all the junk food you could eat. I think we ate more lumpia then we ever have. Delicious! The chicken adobo  was great too. Not sure if I spelled either of those correct but they tasted really good. LOL They had the fire works show the night before and they didn't start until 11:30 pm because that is when it is dark. lol  Between the show the city did and all of the private sector fire works it was quite an exhibit. I had a hard time looking in all the directions in the sky that were being lit up! There was the biggest parade I have seen so far here in Sitka but the high lite of the day for me was the water fight between the Sitka Fire Fighters and the Sitka Coast Guards, We were all pretty wet after the water fight as they felt like the audience was to dry. The kids all loved it!

Michael wants one of these! Expensive!

Michelle works with Michael and is a volunteer firefighter, she is the one on the right. lol

Trying to get the water flowing!

Fire Fighters put a rag in the end to plug the Coasties hose!

This was soap they bombed them with

Then it came our way!

The object was to get the barrel down the street, Coast Guard won in the final count

Yes he got us too! LOL

WE'RE OUTTA HERE!
