The Fourth

For the Forth of July, we started out the day by heading up to the parade in The Woodlands. Here is Lilly all decked out in her new dress.

Waiting for the parade to start. We found shade so it wasn't too bad.

The start of the parade.

Christian was in charge of the camera, so there are a lot of pictures of cars.

Lilly's balloon flower. There was a clown making balloons while we waited for the parade to start and Lilly requested a flower.

  An ambulance, monster truck style. They called it the "WHAMbulance"

Lilly waving to all the people in the parade.

Lilly blowing her whistle that she got from the parade.

Chick-fil-a cow that Lilly high-fived/fist-bumped.

Even "Obama" was there.

And all kinds of crazy vehicles.

Lilly's ice cream fan.

Old school fire truck. 

And old school ambulance. 

Even Cinderella showed up. 

Just like last year, Lilly got lots of loot. Lots of candy, bracelets, water bottles, a whistle, stress balls, pencils, stickers, tattoos, coupons, and lots of popsicles. Actually, we all got lots of popsicles because tons of people were handing them out. I think Christian's mom got about 10.

In the afternoon, we barbecued and stuffed our selves silly and then later that night we also walked about 5 minutes down the street to watch the fireworks. The sub-division had its own show apparently. They were pretty dang good fireworks too. Overall, a great Fourth!
