Every 4th of July we head down to the Rose Garden for the Rose, White and Blue Parade. This year, we decided to go to the beginning of the parade instead of the end, to watch. Genius! There was a TON of shade for us to sit in, and the boys brought their bikes to ride around the school next to us, and the street before the parade started. The boys really loved it this year, because they could see it all! No crowds blocking their view, and Daddy did not need to put them both on his shoulders the whole time. Perfect. Plus Ry and Pieces (Reese, her nickname is pieces...adorable to hear Austin say).
The boys got their ice cream from the vendor walking by, and they were set. They especially loved the police cars, fire trucks, farm vehicles, and animals. Oh and SANTA! Poor Austin remembered Santa was there last year (how? I didn't remember!) and he pretty much shook as Santa went by. (Austie has a big Santa fear)
Great 4th parade!!!
After the boys napped, we headed to Ma and Papa's to celebrate the 4th AND Great Uncle Glenn's 79th Birthday! The boys swam and we had a nice dinner prepared by Pa.
We got home at 8pm, and Austin had to go to sleep, he was so so tired. Then Gavin and Daddy got to go to Lake Almaden fireworks at 9! It was a stretch to keep G up, but he was determined. They had a ton of fun, and Momma even managed to watch our very own neighborhood show from the patio.
