Hometown Parade

On the Fourth, the girls and I (Gregg had to work) skipped swimming lessons to go to the parade downtown.

And really, I had seen enough of Ben's muscles to hold me through the weekend (and I thought the kids might have more fun at the parade).

We met some friends downtown and waited for the parade to start at 9.

When getting dressed for the day, Macy decided that she wanted to wear a dress and Paigey grabbed her pink kitty-cat rain boots. Which she wears several times a week with no socks.



I found this rusty hanger in the shape of an "M" on the street. I let Macy hold it for a pic for the sake of the blog and made my way to the 7-11 next door to trash it.

And really, what's a parade without a few celebrities?

Nothing like Elvis on a mini-bike. And Wonder Woman - bless her heart.


I had a flashback to my 3rd birthday where apparently it was appropriate to strip down in the middle of the party to try on my new underoos.
August 1979

(I am well aware of the apple not falling far from the tree. Macy is her mother's daughter.)

Paigey kept with the spirit of the event, waving her little flag continuously.


Macy joined her for a bit before she collapsed into a heap declaring she was "bored of sweating".



Luckily, it was time to go.

Stayed tuned for the next post about the rest of the day!
