Independence Day

We celebrated Independence day with preschool friends at the University Park parade again this year. When we got ready to go I put on one of the three shirts that still fit me (none of which are red or blue) and Norah told me that since I wasn’t wearing red white or blue I better just stay home and she’d bring me back a diet coke from the parade! I’m glad I didn’t let her discourage me from going because it was so much fun. University park knows how to throw a party! There were bouncy houses, lemonade, popcorn and watermelon, a petting zoo, balloon animals and of plenty of candy thrown to the kiddos. We walked to Gore Park from David’s house – he wasn’t in this picture because he was already there getting ready to ride his bike in the paradeDavid is standing in the foreground and Norah, Alice and Benjamin are in the background Alice is a major animal lover these days. Norah passed on the petting zoo on account of its stinkiness.Bryan dancing with Alice and Norah doing the MacarenaWe also went to a fun BBQ in the evening at Brooke and Christian’s house but we didn’t take any pictures.
