Our neighborhood has a big parade each 4th of July, all the kids get fancied up, decorate their bikes and cruise around. So we got fancy, painted faces, spruced up the bikes and tried to look especially patriotic because we are - I love love love America and celebrating the 4th of July. Then we got to the parade, then we got a good parking spot - instead of being thrilled we should have been suspicious. Normally you have to walk a mile just to get there. Then we heard the sad news - the parade was cancelled because of rain. So us and the other uninformed families let the kids cruise around the parking lot and throw candy at each other. Then we complained that the parade we worked so hard to get ready for was cancelled, then we saw the sky, then we heard thunder, then we hear Chris say "We have twenty seconds to get everything in the car before we get dumped on". That was our fourth of July. I know that was a lot of "then" usage and I'm pretty sure it wasn't grammatically accurate either. Sorry.

So we headed home, watched T.V. and ate the 4 big bags of candy that we didn't get to throw - all by ourselves - in our dry house.
