Proud to be an American!

This 4th of July was a wonderful one! The 3rd was great too because we were invited to a neighborhood parade that was truly small town America at its finest. It was too cute and so much fun!! Hot dogs, face painting, Popsicles and kids galore! The kids decorated their riding toys and took off after a wonderful rendition of the national anthem and the pledge of allegiance from some grade school aged kids.
We decorated the double stroller because we thought David F would ditch his bike a quarter of the way but come to find out- that would have been longer than he lasted in the stroller when he saw the hot wheels! He tried to ride in the back of James' tractor but kept falling off so he got to catch a ride with his favorite older lady friend in her pink Barbie car! Nora and Aubrey Kate didn't love the stroller either so I really struck out on the parade- ha! Nora was happy with a mouthful of Vanilla Wafers though so we kept them coming!

I'm proud to be an American, and proud of what the stars and stripes, hot dogs and Popsicles represent and are thankful for those who came before us to make it all possible.
