Happy 4th of July!!

getting ready for the parade

We ventured out to the Allandale Parade once again and as always a good time is had by all. And who can beat a parade and then free ice cream from Amy's Ice Cream?? Mackenzie ended up joining her daisy troop now brownies to walk the banner in the parade. She liked seeing all her friends and of course Kelly, Julianna, Danielle and Samantha (her much older friends). Sean was able to rake it in with free goodies....a coupon to amy's, candy, several flags and beads. Ryan just enjoyed hanging out on the curb. They got to check out the fire truck that Clara's dad rides in as well. Then it did start raining on us so we hung out under trees to try to make our way home.
After lunch we went down to Bobby Lane and got some numbers of stuff we need to buy to get it ready for market. They have layed the tile and will grout soon and so then it will look really different. It was sad to see Mackenzie's room where she spent her first 2 yrs and it's still purple. Now will be nomadic desert.
Then we did sparklers once it got dark and then did a few fireworks at the baseball fields. They watched the last part of the fireworks on tv then went to bed.
