Happy 4th of July!

We had a wonderful day yesterday, full of friends, food, and feelings of independence! It all started at our 9:00 parade. Brady loved the firetrucks and the marching bands the most. Then we went to our neighbors for a barbecue in the afternoon, then we had our old neighbors over for dinner and fireworks viewing (the view from our new house couldn't get any better). It was a wonderful day! (and perfect that it was a Friday!)

This was a great high school band (not sure where they were from) that stopped right in front of us and performed about 5 songs. They even had great dancers!

This is the float from Brady's new school. Brady's handprint is on the blue sign as his class made that poster on Thursday.

This was a pilgrim band playing flutes and old drums (songs like Yankee Doodle) Very patriotic!

All of us together
