It's like no other zoo I've ever been to. Its pretty small and except for the Tiger all the other animals are native to Alaska. 
We both got a good laugh when we turned the corner and found Magpie's in a cage. We both looked at each other in wonder since we could both recall childhood memories of shooting them with BB guns due to their overabundance and annoyance! Now we just paid $12 each to see them in the zoo!
Mike had to work at Best Buy in the evening so I went and hung out with my friend Christie and her family. They have a big blow up pool equiped with pump and all so enjoyed being outside and enjoying the wonderful sunshine that we have this year. 
Mike and I then had another exciting game of Monopoly. He of course annihilated me AGAIN! On the 4th we woke up and went to the Anchorage parade. I believe this is the 5th state that I've celebrated our Country's birthday in and it's definately much different than anywhere else! Take for instance this... 
Do you like the duct tape used to hold the sign on the car? And I bet you've never seen a reindeer in your parade!
And don't worry...no candy was thrown out (I thought that is why we had parades!) And our Grand Marshall sat in his convertable with his seat belt on (I'm sorry I missed that picture) but what happened to all those important people sitting on top of the car in the back seat? Anyone who wanted to be in the parade could be so we had lots of people just driving cars and riding their bikes.

They put the Alaska flag upside down on their float. And nobody noticed! Classic! We did a have a few floats, but they were far and few between. 
After the parade we walked around the parkstrip and ate yummy reindeer sausages. Mike then had to work at Best Buy again and I wasn't feeling well so I went home and rested. Later in the evening when Mike got off our friend Taylor came over and we grilled some hamburgers and played some games til Midnight when we were able to go see the fireworks, again a disapointment if you've seen any other fireworks...but fireworks nonetheless. All in all we had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed being outside in the amazing weather we are having with friends and had a great time celebrating our Independence!

Glad to see you're still not private. I gave you a new VT route, and a new companion...
KayLee's been missing you at achievement day girls, and the reason you haven't found a house yet is because you're not looking in our ward....prayers of the RS Pres. HA1
reindeer sausage? That's unamerican! I'm glad you decided I can view your blog. I'm glad the grand marshal can show his support for safety!
