Fourth of July

My dad and I broke tradition this year and didn't run in the 10K. We'll be back next year but needed a little break. Instead, Tim made red, white and blue pancakes for us before heading to the parade.

There wasn't any candy to catch, but Brycen and Ada still had a great time.

I know the smile looks fake, but I promise that Tim was having a good time.

Kind of funny, the couple behind us has sat by us the past few years. Next year we'll assign them to bring the parade treats.

Julie, this one is for you.

We went to the park where they had a colonial village to explore
Don't worry, Erika's "public punishment" was short.

Do you notice the enormous snake they are "petting"?

What better way to end the day than with sparklers.
