FOURTH OF JULY PARADE

It has become a tradition to go to the 4th of July parade in Eureka with Jared's family. This year was SOOOO hot, but we got a shady spot, and it wasn't as bad as it could have been!

 Waiting in the heat for the parade to start.

My two little firecrackers! :)

Just chillin'

Kelsey loved her balloon! :)

Going after the candy.

Waving to the people in the parade.

Morgan was devastated when a piece of candy hit her balloon that was tied to her bag and popped it...

There were about 10 fire engines all in a row....and yes, they were LOUD.  But surprisingly, Kelsey was not phased by it at all.

The cousins love being together!

And I was surprised to see a dear old friend, "Badge" walking in the parade passing out balloons for Aaron Schock.  I hadn't seen him in ages!  He sang in Pentella with my dad back in the "good old days."  :)
