4th of July celebration


We did things a little differently this year for the 4th of July. Usually, we go to the Wake Forest Fireworks Spectacular on July 3rd which is an incredible show. However, we received free tickets to the Carolina Railhawks with a fireworks show after the game. We figured that this would be a win/win for us since we were already going to be in the area close to the time of the game and we would still get to see fireworks.

Since Evan, Simon and Abby all play soccer, this was perfect for them to see how professionals play the game. The game was exciting and the kids loved every minute of it. Celeste was happy to see Swoops, the team Mascot. The game ended in a tie but that was alright because everyone had fun. The fireworks were very short, only about 5 minutes but what do you expect for free! We will be back o Wake Forest next year for the fireworks.


On July 4th, Wake Forest has its annual Children's parade down Main St. This year we took both dogs with us. It was loads of fun with our dog Bandit walking most of the way. After being diagnosed with a spinal disease and thinking Bandit was going to die, this was truly amazing.
