4th of July Parade



We kicked off the 4th of July holiday with our annual neighborhood parade. However, I must say, this is the first time we have participated. In the past we watched the parade walk by and maybe even waved. This year felt different, as most events do since the arrival of Tess. Richie and I found ourselves giggling and having a great time as we walked in a herd of red white and blue around the block with a fire truck as the grand finale! Tess enjoyed herself too. She smiled and laughed as she and Richie stood under the rain of water coming down. The firemen hooked up their hose to the hydrant and sprayed the entire parade of kids, parents and dogs.

We have already started to plan the outfit Tess might wear next year in the spirit of the holiday.
