Neighborhood Parade

Our Fourth of July celebration started off right in our own neighborhood.

Saturday morning we walked down to the same corner we were at last year to watch our neighborhood's parade.  There were fire trucks, police cars and kids on bikes throwing candy!  That night Gram and Pops and I took Sam to see our fireworks display by the big bass lake. It was an awesome show and Sam did great. He fussed right at the end (just in time for the grand finale) but that's never a surprise on a no-nap day. I carried Sam home -

all the way home

- he was sound asleep, dead weight and sweaty!

The next day we just had to make a pa-wade with our trucks and cars and Sesame Street friends.  Everyone loves a parade!
