Happy Fourth of July!

We went into town today to check out the International Falls Fourth of July Parade.

It was a nice event; not too long.

There were bagpipes,

park rangers,

and horses.

We opted not to watch the fireworks in town. That turned out to be a good decision, as a strong storm passed through the area right at the time the fireworks were scheduled to begin. Instead, Noelle and I were treated to Mother Nature's fireworks show.
