Well we tried LOL Fortunately Steve, Lex and I weren't too invested in seeing the fireworks, and Elli is so little that everything thrills her :) First we went to the parade in downtown Warrenton. We missed it last year since we were manically unpacking still, but I am so glad we went this year cause Elli loved it! 
They had a Coast Guard 
helicopter and an old plane fly over Main street where the parade was going on and Ell was SO excited! She kept yelling "plane plane!" and "heliplopper helliplopper!" The look on her face as the plane flew over was just priceless :) Made me about have a nervous breakdown though! I can't believe how low they flew! I just love this picture of Elli waving at the firetrucks, police trucks and military vehicles :) 
The whole parade was mostly public service and military vehicles of people throwing candy and Elli and Lex got some! There were also some clowns and horses that Elli really loved and talked about all day long.... and today too!

We had to drag Miss Elli kicking and screaming from the parade when it was over, but she was OK after we told her we were going to see the fireworks later, which she had learned all about from watching Max and Ruby! Sadly seeing the fireworks didn't go quite as planned although I don't think she knew that :) We had heard that the marina which is just blocks from our house was a great place to watch several firework shows.... yeah not so much! We piled in the car a little after nine and Elli was just plain ticked off at being in the car LOL 
So we got out and waited.... and waited .... and waited some more LOL
It was WAY foggy and we finally saw a tiny bit of fireworks way off in the distance, but they were half covered by clouds SO we gave up and went home to watch the vancouver ones in HD :) Elli didn't know the difference and LOVED them and fell asleep after about ten minutes! All in all it was a VERY fun day!

That's funny...poor Elli...waiting at that ages stinks. I like the idea of watching them at home...no mosquitos.
