The "PARADE"

 This is our attempt to get everyone in one picture! Didn't Work!!

So again spoiled by the home town festivities, there were SO many options when it came to Parades and Fireworks but we couldn't get the same answer from anyone we knew or talked to so we made our own decision! And man, oh man, we were wrong! So we eagerly loaded up and soon arrived at the SPOT, we put our blanket down in the RAIN and waited :) we were the ONLY ones without a umbrella, but it was plenty warm the kids didn't mind, a Fire truck started the parade and then there were maybe 12 floats total between the first Fire truck and last!! And 10 of them were floats people campaigning for offices.    

 Maddilyn waiting!! She was so excited for the parade, she was hoping for a parade like back @ home :( 

It's always so fun with cousins and family!

 JJ also waiting and hoping for some YUMMY candy :(

 Only picture of Liam I got before he had to put oh a YELLOW HOODED sweater  to ESCAPE the rain!

 The parade was really so short we didn't get any decent picture of it!!

 

I tried to get festive with the girls toes... AND THEY LOVED IT !!!!!
