Happy Fourth of July!!!

We had such a fun Fourth of July. Every year our neighborhood puts on a parade for all the kids to participate in. All the neighbors decorates their wagons, bikes, trikes, strollers, pets...you name it! If it can move, someone will stick a flag on it! After the parade, there are snow cones and lots of fun stuff for the kids. This year, Nana got us a wagon for the event. Alex and I decorated up a fabulous patriotic display for the boys to ride in the parade. Nana and Pops came and Eric, Jen , and Ashley joined us in the parade too! What a fun morning!

Alex on the porch with his decorated wagon before we left. He was so proud of it especially since he picked out the 4 balloons...3 red, white, and blue balloons and 1 red one. By the end of the parade, not many decorations survived.

While we were staging for the parade, Alex decided that he would rather ride in the pickup truck with his friends and throw candy to the parade watchers. He loved doing this!

Sam is ready to go! He loved riding in the wagon.

Ashley getting ready with her very patriotic ride for the parade!
Ashley and Sam rode in the wagon together for a lot of the parade. They liked waving those flags...although I think we lost a few along the parade route.

After the parade we got snow cones! Mmmm!
