Hey there Seattle!
Hope you had a great Independence Day Weekend!
We went to the downtown parade in Edmonds, WA and saw the amazing Latin American Dancing Horses of Washington! Then we hit the park later that evening to watch their late-night public fireworks display!
Hope you stayed ‘safe and sane’ and had a great time!
Here are some fun ideas for this weekend!
