July 4, 2012

4th of July is our day to spend at my parents' house.  My home town does a big parade and carnival for the 4th and so we enjoy going up and seeing the festivities.  Thank goodness this year no one got sick beforehand.  The parade and carnival was fun.
 Jacob in his new chair from Grammie.  He wasn't too sure about the parade but he loved that they threw him candy.
 This is my dad in the Army truck.  Normally he martches but with a total knee replacement last year and a bum knee this year, he opted to ride.  He said it was pretty uncomfortable and would have rather marched.
 Kimberly and Matthew enjoying the parade... well sort of.  This was the part of the parade with the loud fire trucks and as you can see, Matthew isn't too happy about it.
 Smile and wave is what I have always taught the kids and it seems to get them more candy.
Jacob is guarding the candy bag... haha.  Well actually he is just eating candy like crazy.

We had a lot of fun and it is something we look forward to every year.
Happy 4th of July!
