Little Forest Hills 4th of July Parade

This year we celebrated the 4th by watching the Little Forest Hills Parade. We got there 15 minutes early which was more than necessary and left us plenty of time to take some pictures. We watched the parade with our next door neighborsIt was a nice parade with a great neighborhood feel. It was just about 15 mintues long but had all the essentials: a firetruck with the fire fighters throwing candy, musicians, kids riding bikes, and few funny floats. After the parade the neighborhood gathered at Casa Linda Park for watermelon and apple pie. Is there anything more American?I think Bryan looks very handsome in this picture Norah and Alice waited patiently for balloon animalsDuring the parade Dean specifically requested to have his picture taken with the bumble beeThe highlight of the celebration was the dance performance by “the dazzlers”  Norah with an 89 year old tap dancer! After Freya took a nice long nap, we went for a ride on the M-line Trolley And stopped for Shakes at the Highland Park Soda fountain which is over 100 years old
