Fourth of July Parade and Celebration

Of course it's blazin' hot here in Texas, but we braved the heat for our neighborhood July 4th Parade and Party. Lincoln was looking extra long and tall as we headed down the street.


It was 10:00 and time for Beau's morning nap, so he crashed before we even got down the driveway! Somehow he slept through the firetruck, police car, marching band and tons of honking. I wish my tiptoeing down the hall could mimic these sounds . . . I apparently make way more noise!


The parade was fun, and Lincoln enjoyed the horses the most. Oh, and the mardi gras beads and candy he caught too.


Family shot minus the snoozer in the stroller!


We all walked up to the elementary school after the parade for a cookout, games and a cool train. Linc and Daddy took a turn around the lot while Beau and I hung in the shade.


Seriously, when did he get so tall? Linc had lots of fun and had lots to check out all morning.


Beau didn't sleep much after the parade (I guess it got too quiet!), but he just chilled while we walked around.


It was a fun way to spend the morning, and I know Linc and Beau will be riding their decorated bikes in the parade in a few years. One set of brothers had a motorized little Escalade all decked out in streamers. (They weren't the best drivers, and the Mom was chasing them down the street shouting directions. I'm seeing this scenario soon!)
