Happy 4th of July!

A friend of ours hosted a 4th of July parade that went up and back down the street where they live. Everyone was decked out in patriotic colors, and the kids rode bikes/trikes/wagons covered in red, white, and blue balloons. I brought Henry's tricycle along for him to ride. We were about fifty feet down the parade route when Henry brought the rear faction to a screeching halt after he decided to disembark and declare his preference for sitting in the car and having a snack. So that's we did.

After the parade and the post-parade popsicles, we headed over to the park with a cooler full of food and met up with another couple of friends who also brought coolers full of food. We played and ate for a few hours and then we carried our tired selves back to the house for naps. It's been a full day and there are still fireworks and BBQ to look forward to.

Hope all of you are having an equally fun and festive 4th!
