I love the Fourth of July! I love a good small town parade (I love a bad small town parade, too) and a community fair. I love grilling food and hanging up a flag.
We hit up our usual Fourth of July Parade in West Point with Grandmama. Someday the boys won’t wear matching shirts and pose on the sidewalk for me, or so I’m told, so I’ll treasure these photos as long as I can!
Kevin and I do like a parade!
Bobby liked all the big fire trucks and tractors. We got the F-16 fly by just as the beginning of the parade was getting to us as well. Lots of candy and everybody waving at our cute boys. We cheer and clap -it really is just fun! The family who lives in the home we were sitting in front of, had their water hose ready and took on a couple of floats that tried to squirt them with water guns – the hose won again this year!
After the parade, we went to the park and looked at the booths and played on the playground. It was a really warm day, so we didn’t stay very long. Later that day, Grandmama, Uncle Dan, Aunt Cathy, and Danny and Cate came over to eat and play. There was good food and the kids went swimming in the pool and rode bikes and just had fun together. I like days like that.
The boys decided to put on their own bicycle parade around the house.
We sat on the porch and cheered and waved.
Rusty decided to be the water sprayer in the parade …
We didn’t really appreciate getting wet!
The parade wasn’t finished with just the bicycles … Bobby had to come by in his float!
And then the momma got sprayed with water after specifically telling her child not to, so the fun was over. But it was great while it lasted!
