Happy 4th!


Happy 4th of July! Here in SKagway the 4th of July is like the greatest holiday ever! They go all out! Starting last night (the 3rd) they had fireworks then this morning we ran a 5k, then we went to the parade. Then SKagway decided to break a world record and have the worlds largest egg toss. The number to beat was 350 and we had 1,100 people! It was so cool. Oh and me and Kendra were partners and we were the very first team in the line it was pretty sweet! The day was just pretty cool, there was a bbq, pie auction, tug of war, 3 legged races, and other random things! It was a lot of fun!
Here we are collecting candy at the parade!
