This 4th of July we decided to have a small family celebration. After the Balloon Festival, Ganon rode his bike (with his trumpet strapped to the baby-bike-seat) downtown. The Utah Freedom Band was going to perform on the parade route, but not in the parade. The kids and I joined him with the jogging stroller shortly before the parade. David and Rebecca had lots of fun listening to the band play some upbeat tunes while the nearly-100 parade entries mosied by. The kids liked the fire engines, the horses, and the big balloon animals. I think David's favorite was Curious George. There was a banner across the road near us so it was exciting watching the animals duck underneath. I caught one of these times on camera.
We were too far from the road to get any candy (the kids were shy and couldn't eat most of it anyway). David took good care of Rebecca by pointing out the up-coming attractions. It was a fun morning for all of us.
There seems to be a lot of fun things going on for your family to attend and the kids are just precious.David takes real good care of Rebecca he is a wonderful big brother and I'm sure that she loves him a lot.

Looks like David is the same kind of good big brother that Ganon was for me. It is sweet to see that the apple doesn't fall that far from the tree. :)
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to share some of our candy with you. David got a huge bowl full. If you ask him what he liked about the parade, he'll say that people threw candy.
ReplyDeleteCute photo of the kids! We watched Babar the elephant get stuck under a power line. Guess that's what happens when you wear a crown...
ReplyDeleteThe two shots of David and Rebecca are wonderful. Consider framing them.
