At the beginning of the week they had a Float Preview where we could go and walk around and look at all of the floats and vote for our favorites. Based on the kids reaction to the floats we decided that they would enjoy the parade on Saturday morning. We were lucky enough to have some friends come in town that camped out on the street along the parade route and reserve plenty of room for all of us. We woke up early and were all out the door by 7:45 am on our way to the parade. We had a great spot, right up front on the road...
They loved the parade, especially Sebastian! He layed on his belly on the road (on a blanket, of course) right with his face behind the green line which we were to stay behind. Even when the motorcycles drove by and did their turns and tricks, he didn't even flinch! I think his favorite part of the parade was when the Marching Bands would go by. Here you can see in every picture he is intently watching everything go by....
It was really hot, so we all enjoyed a ice cold popsicle, including Abby...
After the parade we went back home for a little relaxing before getting ready for our Grill out. Our cousins Chandler & Noah, and my Mom came over to spend the night. Heide, Elisabeth, and Lillie (long time family friends) came over for dinner and fireworks. It began with a water balloon fight....
Once it was dark enough, we were ready for some fireworks...
Austin lit his very first firework, he was a little nervous so he stretched his entire body out so he could be as far away from it as possible!
Another great day!
