4th of July

These pictures are from our visit back to my hometown to see friends in the parade and enjoy a fun family outing.  

This picture is a picture I never imagined for my children.  I used to see children on a leash and gasp.  Never understood why that would necessary. Till now.  I made a special trip to the store the day before the parade just to purchase this harness.  And let me tell you, it was great!  No he didn't like it most of the time but the alternatives of possibly loosing him and or once again sticking him in the stroller alienating him from the fun didn't sound pleasing to me either.  This was definitely my own personal peace of mind for the day that enabled us to all enjoy and experience this outing. 

Our friend Leland on his tractor!



Our friend Jimmy playing the bag pipes.



Better vantage view from Uncle Bob's shoulders.



Hawk chilling out. Sometimes it is good to have little brother, as you never know when you may need to take a seat. 

My boys, all three of them.




Taking a break in the shade from the heat!



All this equals great time at the 4th of July Parade.
