The Fourth of July Parade is one of my favorite things about living in our neighborhood! The tradition begins with a Very Serious Patriotic Ceremony in Jeannie Lagrone's front yard, emceed by the Parade Marshall, Ms. Jeannie herself. After the ceremony is complete, the parade marches one loop around the circle and then ends back at the Lagrones for popsicles and swimming. Sam is at an age where he really enjoys this kind of stuff- especially the fire truck, the Lightning McQueen car and the Partlow Drummers.

The Very Serious Patriotic Ceremony- the kindergartners led us in reciting
the Pledge of Allegiance and William rang the Liberty Bell.

Parade mishap... the Statue of Liberty's car blew a gasket...
so she helped push it to the side.
Sam thought the noise and the smoke were great!
