Parade

Our family drove out to Lewisburg, PA for the 4th of July weekend to spend it with my brother, Steve's family.  I really wanted to get away and take part in their now famous Freedom Parade! We had it on Saturday with their friends, neighbors and church members too (I guess they'd be friends as well.)
People came and decorated their strollers, bikes, wagons, themselves all in red, white and blue.  Then we had a flag ceremony and the national anthem. 
The front of the parade.  We left their house and went down several blocks and back again.  Some people came out of their homes and waved to us.  We rested in the shade (it was a HOT day) and some paraders threw us some candy!  score.
Jocelyn put a lot of work into this parade and we loved it!  I felt more patriotic than I had in a long time.  Thanks for a great weekend!!

Looks like fun! I have been sitting here waiting for labor to start: a false alarm everyday, and I have nothing more to do than blog and looks at blogs. Therfore seeing a new post on people's blog is the highlight of my day!
