For those of you who don't know, the 4th of July is my all time favorite holiday. More than Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, or even my own birthday! There is nothing like a summer day where all you are supposed to do is drink beer, lay out in the sun, celebrate our country's independence, and watch fireworks. That is... until you have kids! Don't get me wrong, it's still my favorite holiday. Only now it's better. You get to watch your children enjoy our the wonderful components of the day (except the drinking beer part). This morning we went out to a family breakfast (because daddy's home today, yay!), did a red, white, and blue glitter craft to help decorate our "float", and participated in our neighborhood 4th of July bike parade. These are pictures of Ryan and next door neighbor, Kendall enjoying their moment to shine as the princesses of the parade. Unfortunately, we didn't win a prize this year (didn't realize the stiff competition in a bike parade) but College Park East residents won't know what hit them next year... I'm already planning! Some thoughts of Ryan being dressed up as the Statue of Liberty and Charlie posing as Betsy Ross have crossed my mind!
Yes, we entered as #108... here are the girls getting ready for the ride!

En route ... the girls did a great job waving their flags throughout.
Here we are waiting for the judges to make their decisions. They had clipboards and everything. Very serious business I suppose! Good work girls!

What a fun Fourth! xoxo
How much fun, the start of a new tradition with the kids and familys. You look so cute Ryan, love the glasses.. Kisses Next year Charlie will be in that wagon.
Lori, it's my all-time favorite too! Mostly 'cause my cousins and I used to be the kings and queens of the Haddon Heights parade. Get going on next year's!
