For the last several years, we have been out of town on the fourth of
July. However, since we were at home this year, we decided to go to the
town parade. Good thing we did, because Austin loved it! He went right
up to the front to watch everyone going by and got so excited that he
waved his arms in the air while jumping up and down. He eagerly
collected the thrown candy with great zeal and brought it to us to hold
onto for him, while exclaiming, "I'm going to win!" We weren't sure what
he thought he was winning, but we loved his enthusiasm! After awhile of
watching the parade, Austin observed the mess of streamers and other
odds and ends left behind by the floats. He turned to us and loudly
asked, "Who will clean up the mess after this party?"
Austin especially liked the line of trackers at the end of the parade.
That evening we had a BBQ dinner at Nate's aunt's house and then
watched fireworks at Rebecca's grandma's house right next to a park.
Unfortunately, we left our camera at the dinner. So, we didn't get any pictures after that point. We did have a fun
Independence Day though! We are so grateful for the freedoms we are able
to enjoy as citizens of this country, and we are stand in reverence for
the sacrifices made by so many to bring us and protect those freedoms
that we enjoy.
