Let Freedom Ring

What would Independence Day be without a parade?  Since we really like to get involved in the community we decided to do another float this year.  I was loving the balloon archway and the smaller trailer made it much easier to transport.  The kids were good sports and a BIG thanks to our runners :)
 Here is the cute little red/white/and blue herd all ready for the day.  Thank heavens the tutu's fit from last year.  Even the little Lovely found some stars and stripes to wear.
And then there's the food.  We made pretty fruit skewers which Darlin' loved and ended up wearing (sadly, this little white dress is now a little pink dress).
We got to play with cousins at a barbeque.  Darla liked following Abel around and bossing him around.
Can't believe how big my big girly is looking.  She got to be the flag lady on the float (Betsy Ross) and was very happy to change back into her jeans after.  The kids had a big water balloon party on the lawn after the parade while we waited for the Lions (Daddy's) to get home from the park for our bbq.
Happy 4th of July!!!
