Happy Fourth of July!

We are having a great week in Juneau.  The Fourth of July is always a great holiday here- there are fireworks and parades and often a break in the crappiest of weather.  And now that we are older, we notice it's a holiday other people come home for- Kelsey was here (awesome), and a bunch of Matt's friends are in town for this wedding.  We took in the fireworks with the bride's family (and Betty!), and spent the actual fourth of July hiking the West Glacier trail with Kelsey's friends.  It was a great day for it.  And then Mom made us some AMAZING BBQ Salmon and a huge spread of BBQ feasting things.  We ate until we were paralyzed and felt very patriotic about it.

Today is the much anticipated wedding.  Matt got up early this morning to unload wood for a bonfire and help with last minute set-up details.  I'm slightly regretting my choice to wear the same dress I got for an outdoor wedding in Virginia in two weeks to an outdoor wedding in Juneau, so I am raiding the house for warm under- and over-things as my form of preparation.  It promises to be a fun filled day of friends and family!
