Our family had a wonderful and relaxing Fourth of July. Unfortunately, Mark was a bit under the weather, but he made it through the mid-day neighborhood festivities like a trooper. It all started with a parade of the littlest residents of the neighborhood, making their way down our street toward the pool. Each kid was supposed to decorate their "wheels" in honor of the day, so we decked out Carlton's stroller using our best patriotic spirit.
He enjoyed waving his flag and reveling in the general excitement of the day.
The parade ended with a neighborhood pool party and cookout, which was a lot of fun.
Late in the afternoon, we headed over to my parents' house for a cookout, and the festivities continued with parade #2 of the day. Carlton absolutely loves playing this particular game with his Meme and Poppy....circles and more circles around their house.
After all that marching, a water break was needed. Perfect that he had just received his very own canteen as a souvenir from my parents' recent trip to Colorado! Here we are working on drinking from it.
