how we're celebrating

This time of year we talk about parades a lot at our house.

In the past, we attended a nearby neighborhood parade on the Fourth of July.

2008

So much to see: a band, old cars, pets, candy and the mayor

2009

Very exciting for these two.

We found another neighborhood parade to check out tomorrow.

The girls (and our sweet neighbors) have been preparing for the festivities all week with impromptu parades up and down the sidewalk.

It's a pretty great venue, lots of shade

a great view and plenty of grass for the onlookers

if two's a company, three's a crowd, what's four? A parade!

and the fifth will get his first parade tomorrow

and next year

he may be waving a flag like our neighbor

or

last year's July calendar like his sister

Hope you have a Happy July Fourth.

Ride your bike in a parade and go see some fireworks.

See you next week!
