The 4th

Our Super fun 4th...


A bike parade ...
We met at the school to decorate our bikes and then were escorted around the neighborhood by this fire truck who flashed his lights and blarred his siren the whole way. Neighbors came out and sat in thier driveways to wave to us as we passed. Why go to a parade when you can be IN one!?!

Gage, Sunny, and Ike by the fire truck ...

and exploring IN the truck ...

Star spangled boy ...

Popsicles after the event!

Gage is braving the gigantic titanic slippery slide at the park festival.

Steve was thrilled to see an El-Camino at the car show ...

We watched this life-flight helicopter land and then got to check it out up close.


Ahhh ... what a GREAT day!!
