Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July everyone! I took the boys to a children's parade and carnival in Lake Dallas. It was a small parade, but Parker sure got TONS of candy. It was like it was Halloween all over again! This was Nathan's first parade and enjoyed it. He just sat in his stroller looking at all the floats and people around him. We had a couple with 2 sheep dogs that he was facinated with and they were barking at all the people around, but it didn't seem to bother him one bit.


The 2nd picture is of Parker standing by t he end of the street waiting for the parade to start. He loved chasing after all the candy that was being thrown to him, and it was difficult trying to keep him from running into the street to get those pieces that didn't quite make it to him. I should have brought a bag for the candy, but who would have thought he would have gotten so much! Needless to say the bottom of the stroller was full of candy! YUMMY!


The 3rd picture is Nathan with a big smile on his face. I told him to look at the mini ponies that were walking by and he thought they were pretty neat! When the firetrucks went by Nathan wasn't really sure what to think. His blue eyes were so BIG, especially when they sounded the sirens. That is why he has the look on his face of.........what is this big red thing?
After the parade we went to check out the bouncy houses and activities going on. Parker had a blast running through the bouncy houses and doing some arts and crafts. He also got his face painted with a red star on his cheek. We didn't stay very long because it was SO hot out. You gotta love the Texas heat! We came home and Nathan crashed out and Parker and I spent time going through all of his candy!
