July 4th Parade

We love our little town and they out did themselves with the July 4th Parade to kick off the weekend festivites. We have lived here now for 3 years, but this is the first year we have gone to the parade and i would have never guessed that so many people would come out, but the road was packed!!! Gigi, David, katelyn and I found a spot to watch everything. They close half of a major road down so all the floats and people can parade down main street! It lasted for an hour and a half. They had lots of music, bands, animals, and CANDY!!! I have never been to a parade with so much candy. Some people even passed out bottled water, which was great and ice pops for the kids, which Katelyn loved! Also Katelyn got stickers, beads, sunglasses, and more! At times i think she thought she was in the parade because she would start walking along and waving like everyone else.

My friend Sarah and her husband and two kids joined us and Preston was so sweet to go get Katelyn candy and toys that were being passed out. I think Preston had the most fun eating toostie rolls and petting the horses that came by. Ethan did great just watching all the action, he didnt like the loud noises too much though, but it was so much fun to watch the kids have a blast!
Gigi lets go over there!
