the Fourth of July

Happy Fourth of July! We celebrated at the big neighborhood parade at my Mom & Dad's. When Deb and I were little the neighborhood was thick with kiddos and the parade was a major big deal. The decorating of bikes began days beforehand. Jackson is also a parade alumni. I spent hours creating "the SS America with Captain Jack" boat out of his little push car when he was a year old.

Deb was decked out.
Mom & Harold were in the spirit as well.


And the parade begins. Erin really enjoyed the festivities. That's her in the big yellow bumblebee bike helmet just to the left of Lauren. Brian, John, Jackson, Deb and Harold complete the circle. We all head to the neighborhood park for food and games.
