Freedom Festival Parade

Our 4th of July started off early! We were up at 5 AM to get a seat on the parade route. Oakley, Preston and Nate came down to help us save a place! Heather was racing in her first big 10K...she looked great as she passed us! The weather was perfect..a bit overcast and except for a short downpour it was great! We were under the canopies so we had a great view and no rain! The parade was not nearly as fun as watching the little kids! They had a blast especially in the rain! What a crazy year! We haven't been to one parade or Strawberry Day's activity without the threat of or actual rain!

Heather and her girls passing us! Go Heather!

Great job! You rocked it! We are so proud of you!

Here are my early morning helpers! They had a blast playing football in the middle of the road with a rolled up T shirt! Thanks for helping guys! Next year we will go early and spend the night! (Am I too old for that?)

Oaks...a bit tired!

Terri! What a fun weekend you had. It was so touching to see your little kiddo's all standing for the flag during the parade. What an awesome thing to teach kids...it's certainly becoming a lost art, and an uncool thing to do...to stand and honor the things our country stands for. Good going kids!
