There's a whole slew of Fourth of July events in Juneau each year. But none are as unique and Alaskan as the parade on Douglas Island. Check out my photos, and don't miss the video below - the kiddo's expression at minute 2:18 is PRICELESS!
To get to the parade on Douglas Island, one must first drive across the Juneau-Douglas bridge. OR you can run across it, like these fellas.
With Parade Grand Marshal, Jeff Brown. He's a legend!
The view toward "downtown" Douglas.
Cozying up to my friend, Kathy, who's wearing the beautiful kuspuk my mother made especially for her. She looks amazing!

Steaks before the hot grill. Yummo!
I was craving The South - so I made an apple crumb cobbler. And by "made," I mean I opened a cardboard box and popped this in the oven. It was awesome.
A deliciously sweet ending to a tremendously awesome day, celebrating our nation's independence. MERICA!
