The 4th of July

The 4th of July

---------

We had a pretty amazing holiday!!! It started off with Daddy being able to take the day off and help us celebrate!!! We had to wake up early on Friday (8am) to make sure that we were dressed and ready to go for the annual Neighborhood 4th of July Parade....This is Preston's second appearance ...and this year he was able to ride with his buddy " Jack , Jack" in the bicycle chain designed by Jack, Jack's daddy...also in the train are Jack's sister Grace and her friend Michelle...

Here are the cutie's getting to jump in their ride!

Pretty "spiffy" train, eh???

I have to say it was one of the best entries...I'm not biased though....

The boy's conserving energy before the big trek around the neighborhood....Our parade is growing every year...I think there were about 50-60 kids that participated this year...and they all seem to really enjoy decking out their bikes, wagons, strollers, themselves...whatever!

After the hot ride in the parade, we decided it was best to cool off at the pool prior to nap...It was very refreshing and Daddy and Mr P were able to show off their matching tatoo's (which Preston hated by the way..)

After swimming and a long family nap (gosh I LOVE those!) we headed up for a BBQ party at our neighbors....which was also amazing!!! Unfortunately, Preston's teeth were bothering him and he was a little upset for awhile...until the med's kicked in and then he was fine again...thank goodness because Preston really liked the fireworks and it would have been a shame for him to have to miss them all bc of the silly teeth....
