Just trying to catch up on the blog here and thought I'd post some pictures from the Fourth this past summer. Our neighborhood does a cute little parade where the kids decorate their bikes/strollers/wagons/etc and make a 1 mile loop that ends with some patriotic music and breakfast. It's really fun and I sort of like to pretend, for the day, that we live in that neighborhood from The Sandlot (remember that scene where the huge dog runs through the block party and destroys everything? I'm not sure why, but that just seems so Americana to me and I love it :))
Luke and Grayson (with minimal decorations.. the girls hoarded everything but one flag!)
Ready to ride.
Campbell decided to take a different parade route than the rest of us and scared me about half to death. There were so many kids on their bikes and I lost track of her, thinking she was with Ellie. When Ellie crossed the finish line, there was no Campbell. After a little bit of a panicky search, she came cruising around the corner. Apparently she followed someone else on a bike who went up another block before turning around. She didn't even realize that she had been lost. That girl. She marches to her own beat.
Later that night went downtown for some fireworks.... Luke was very impressed.
We were also super-excited to have our good friends Laura and Shaun in town for the weekend. They brought with them several kids from their church and after leaving our house, headed to Pine Ridge Indian Reservation for a mission trip.
