Dad, Ethan and I
Evie's cousins Delphina, Gabirel and Clare are leading the parade behind the firetruck.
Dad gave Ethan a ride while I ran ahead to take a few photos
Jeremy and Isaiah.

At the end of the parade the firemen let the kids take turns turning on and off the fire hose. The kids always enjoy getting soaked even for an unusually overcast and cool 4th.
Maddie, Morgan and Noah run through the water. Jeremy had a great idea to dress the kids in their swimsuits under their clothes.
Even Grandma and Ethan took a turn running through the water
Gabriel taking a turn. He is such a sweet boy!
This is Mr. July in the fireman's calendar....

After the parade we had lunch at our place. My mom and dad celebrate their 39th wedding anniversary at the end of the month. To me they still act like newlyweds.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEREMY AND MANDY! Mandy's birthday is on July 5th and Jeremy's is on the 12th. It's always fun to celebrate since we're all together.

After naps we went on our bikes to buy fireworks to take to the Potters later that night. I thought it was funny that Evie was holding up her shorts so she didn't get them wet...like they aren't short enough...
Joel is fixing my flat tire. The kids enjoyed running around for a few minutes.
Isaiah was tickling toes. It was cute to see the kids hold out their feet to get tickled.

Awesome pictures! What a fun day! I'm so gald that you're willing to share your neighborhood parade with us; the kids look forward to it!
ReplyDeleteThat'd be Baby #5 that we're expecting. #4 arrived over 2 years ago! ;)
I love the Mr July statement about the fireman...you're too funny Carrie!
