Happy Birthday America.
We celebrated by participating in our town’s annual children’s parade. Such FUN! Yesterday Julie and I decorated their wagon for the two little ones. I am so glad I took pictures of the wagon decked out in red, white and blue yesterday when we finished. Today we learned that crepe paper disentagrates when wet. Yes, that’s right, it rained. Not a light drizzle, a “it’s raining cats and dogs” downpour. Mallory got soaked to the skin, was shivering, had goose bumps, and blue lips by the time we left. But we had a LOT of fun. Seriously. Lots of laughing and watching other people and general silliness. We even had one grandmother tell us Mallory should win a prize for being the most wet (soaked to the skin) and still having a great time. We are already looking forward to next year’s parade.
Just as the rain started.
The coolest bike there!
Holding hands…
before the rain
after!
Cute, cute, cute. She didn’t seem to mind the rain, perhaps hair washing will become acceptable as well –just tell her she’s in a parade 🙂
