This year for the fourth we decided to see if Eme would enjoy the parade. We live about a block off of State street in Murray, and decided to take the kids to the Murray parade. Eme was quite nervous about the parade to begin with.
She has NEVER liked the mascots and human like animals that walk on 2 legs. She always gets SOOOO freaked out everytime she spots them, so I knew we might be in for a long morning. However, she did quite well. I finally got her to get out of mine and daddy's arms and get close to the curb to watch the excitement and she had a blast!
Of course this was Mommy's favorite float!
and this was Eme's favoite float!
As soon as she got brave enough to go get the candy they were throwing out we were on a roll! I did have to teach her however, that we keep the candy... not throw it back! I should have let her
just throw it back, because it just ended up the the trash when we got home!
The parade was quite fun, I think we might go back next year!!
After the parade, we went to see Toy Story 3 but the only had crappy seats left, so we decided we would ditch the movie and go on Monday. We came home and let the kids go down for a nap, and then later that evening, we had a BBQ at my parents house. We had hotdogs, hamburgers, salmon burgers, grilled zucchini and home made burnt almond fudge ice cream! Mmmmm. Then after the BBQ we went to Brady's friend Justins house and lit a few fireworks before we called it a night. All in all it was a pretty mellow 4th of July... just the way I like it!!
