HAPPY 4th OF JULY!

We had a fabulous Fourth! This year we decided to go to the Kernersville parade and it did not disappoint. We will definitely make it a tradition.
I love watching the anticipation in the kids faces as they wait for the start...
This parade is led by the local World War II veterans. I cannot think of a better way to commemorate the day. They are some of America's finest heroes and citizens. Sadly the sun is setting on their generation. We are privileged to be able to share their legacy with our kids.


Julia was captivated by the bloodhounds. They had the cutest puppies with them, too!
There were lots of musicians, floats, dancers, and old tractors. Such a classic American parade.
Then we headed to the Children's Museum in Winston-Salem for the kids' parade, songs, obstacle course, and popsicle party.
Julia loved the vets office...
And everybody got in on the donut making! Come and get them the "HOT" sign is on!
Love the picture on the wall from Homer Price by Robert McCloskey. We had fun reading the book together later that week.
We had a great day together as a family having all sorts of fun. That night we topped it off with a cookout party with friends. Friends, family, and freedom. Proud to be in America!
