4th of July Parade

Happy Independence Day, Americans!

Daddy and girls in the wagon.

 It was a perfectly warm and sunny day for a parade in Oak Creek, WI.

Lydia waves to the clown 

We plopped down in the middle of Peutz Rd next to our neighbors from across the street, and slapped on the sunscreen.

(Hopefully they won't find out I'm posting a picture of their behinds on my blog. They are great neighbors.) Ashlynn (girl in pink shorts) was kind to Lydia when all the big kids scrambled to pick up candy that was thrown into the street.

"Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of picking candy up off the street, eh?" said Lady Liberty on stilts.

But it was more than candy. Lydia enjoyed watching the cheerleaders, gymnasts, karate kids, and dancers.

We had American flags, but Lydia wanted to wave her ladybug wand. Betsy Ross just didn't design the flag with enough tinsel and glitter for Miss Lydia.
