The 4th of July is always special at our house. Our neighborhood has a parade every year and the Clinton Fire Dept. comes to lead the way with one of their engines. We walk up to the top of our neighborhood and get behind the fire truck. This year Prince was able to sit inside at the steering wheel before it took off down the street. What fun he had. As the parade begins the fire truck (with sirens blaring) takes off down the street followed by the bike riders. Tink rode right behind the engine...leaving the rest of her family in the dust! lol! At the bottom of the street we always have snacks and drinks in the yard of a sweet family. They host this event each year and they even have a flag in their yard so we all say the Pledge of Allegiance together. It's very special to us. But even more special this year was that the Firemen hooked up to a fire hydrant and let the truck spray water over all the kids. They had a ball! It was so much fun and Tink is still talking about it. Now, the bad part was that her birthday party was less than an hour away...but a little time in the dryer and those clothes were as good as new. I'll post bday party pics next. But for now, enjoy the parade!
Oh, I forgot to mention, that WE are the parade. We walk, ride, scoot, etc down the street waving flags at the neighbors on the sidewalk. This year Nana, Pawpaw, and Gidgi sat in Gidgi's driveway waving as we passed. That made it extra special. And Lucy, our dog, had fun walking in the parade as well!
