Our 4th of July weekend was fun.
Saturday, we went to a BBQ at my brother's house where we ate too much, drank not enough and swam and laughed the night away! I always love our get togethers with my brothers and sisters-in-law and we definitely don't do it often enough! Of course, I have no pictures to share because I was enjoying the moment!
Monday we went to the Independence Day Parade with Shauna and the boys. It was your typical parade; old cars, the school marching band, city officials, Miss Michigan, even a school bus! But the best part according to Maxwell and Levi
Police cars, ambulances, rescue and fire trucks! Always facinating!
Oh, and this surprise guest!
Isn't Santa always in Independence Parades?!
After the parade on our way to the car we caught this lady.

She was riding this old bicycle or tricycle or whatever they called it from 1865. She made her costume too!
That's it for me for a while. We are heading out soon for our annual week at a Airbnb with the family!
I'll try to take a lot of pictures and tell you all about it next week!
Until then stay safe and well my friends!
Have an absolutely stupendous time with your family, dear friend! I know you will enjoy being all together! What fun pictures from the parade too. Yes, little boys and all things "noisy" & moving!! *lol* ~Andrea xoxo

Our city used to have a bigggggggg day of the 4th. With family events in the park. Food to buy. Activities for kids and etc. And Fireworks to cap it all off.
Used to....
Our now LIBERAL City had NOTHING!!!!!!!!!! This year.
It's not fashionable or safe, to be Patriotic here, now, I guess. Might *OFFEND* someone. &*(^$%#%^^&

Was she in the parade...did you get to see her ride it? I think this would have been my favorite. Have a great trip, bon voyage!
ReplyDeleteYes, she was in the parade. She was weaving back and forth to each side of the street. I asked her if it was hard to ride and she said no, only up hills.
DeleteI love the old tricycle!!!
ReplyDeleteHave fun
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great holiday.

That sounds like a lovely weekend! I wish we were closer, I could get your boys a ride in a police car AND a firetruck. (I have connections)
ReplyDeleteI love the old bike and the lady who was riding it; so cool.
Glad you had a great time with family and enjoy your time away.
ReplyDeleteI've never attended a 4th of July parade when I've been in the States, now I want to go to one, it looks a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteThis looks idyllic -- everything you describe, and I'm glad you were too busy enjoying yourself to take pictures at the party! xoxo
