4th of July


Happy Fourth of July!  Aurora woke up just in time to throw on her stars and stripes, quickly adorn her tricycle with “sparklers,” and jump out the door to join the parade! 


Who needs a band when a kid pulling boom box in a wagon can grand marshal the parade by blasting out the patriotic tunes of Sousa!  I waved and cheered from the doorstep as our friends and neighbors marched past in a glitter of streamers, flags, and balloons.  Aurora took her role in the event very seriously and blew her little whistle as loud as a little plastic whistle can blow! 

And the nice thing about waking up five minutes before a parade is that you get to eat popsicles for breakfast!
