Today’s entry will be short in honor of our nation’s birth. Happy 4th of the July, as Oldest Son said when he was about three. It has stuck with Hubby and me, the cute sayings when they were young.
We like to take summer vacations around the 4th and take in the local celebrations. We have spent the holiday is Gatlinburg, TN, some small town in New Hampshire that neither of us can remember the name of, and now Whitefish, MT. Small towns have some fun traditions for the 4th. This year, in Whitefish, there was an art fair, parade, and fireworks. We missed the parade because we stayed too long at the art fair. We missed the fireworks because Ruby the Wonder Dog was not allowed in. But we still had fun. We visited with several of the artists at the fair and heard some interesting personal history, as well as learning about their art. And we did get to see some fireworks off the deck of the cabin. There is a meadow down the road and some locals were shooting fireworks.
Ruby the Wonder Dog had a good time in Whitefish, too. She made friends with dogs of all sizes. She is so funny though. If one of us leaves our “pack”, she gets very concerned. She likes us all to be together. Hubby says she is more concerned when I venture off than when he leaves. I am not sure I am buying that.
After Whitefish, we went to Kalispell to see what was there. I was pleasantly surprised that it is not too touristy. It does seem to be a popular place to stay in the Flathead Valley area. We also saw Columbia Falls, another quaint small town.
We had cell phone signal for awhile today. We got to talk to both Older Son and Younger Son in our short window of cell phone opportunity! It was a nice surprise.
Hope your 4th was a good one!
