Our neighborhood has a July 4th parade. At 11:00 everyone gathers on one end of our street. This isn't a parade you watch. It's a parade you join. There is a fife and drum corps. All the strollers, bikes and scooters and children and even some of the dogs are decorated red white and blue. Lots of noise and lots of people, lots of flags. The procession ends around the corner at the kid's elementary school where there are snacks, and a clown who makes balloon animals for the children.Seth rode his scooter, Riley marched, waving her flag wholeheartedly.
After they got their balloons, and after they ate ice cream sandwiches, Seth licked his fingers, then put his hand up over his eyes as he surveyed the area.
"So far so fun," he said, before taking off to run with the other kids.

Happy Independence Day!

Our neighborhood does the same thing, but they throw CANDY. Rojo won't miss it for the world.
We do the same thing here. Adam refused to join the parade b/c he figured it would be much harder to dive for candy if he was actually participating. He has priorities.
Love Seth's balloon and motto!
"So Far So Fun" should be put on a shirt. That is gooood.
;)
Sometimes I wish I lived in a quaint place. We spent the day at the MOMA and ate overpriced Vietnamese food, and wore lots of black.
Sigh. So far so fun.
funny, can you ask Seth if I can use that?
