It's been a 6 year tradition...the Hampton Park 4th of July Parade. To the girls, it's the only chance they have until Halloween arrives to replenish their candy buckets that have dried up since Easter. This year for Danny and I, it was an opportunity to dig up old photos of the first few parades and reminisce about the younger years.
It's also funny to think about how well I've trained them into posing for pictures...haha. Notice the stance...Sadie in the middle :0).
Even Calvin had a good time!
Our neighbors
This year, we didn't have the Dow 4th party. Instead, some neighbors coordinated a block party. How nice it was to make a few dishes and just show up!!! I did miss seeing my friends though :0).
Mr Perry aka DJ for the night, had the kids blow up balloons until they popped. This kept the crew busy for a while :0). One of the neighbors also got sparklers, but I put my camera away for that. It was a little nerve wracking just waiting for someone to get burned.
We ended the day with fireworks over the lake near our house. It was someone elses fireworks which was even better!!! It was a great 4th spent with our awesome neighbors :0).
