happy 4th of July!

Today we went to our town's parade, which starts with a children's parade (apparently attended by every single kid within city limits!). Maren had a great time riding in her wagon, after helping decorate it this morning. True to American form, she enjoyed a snack while parading.

So far, she is unconvinced that fireworks are a good idea. "That big one is TOO YOUD," she said forcefully, after a big boom woke her from her nap. We'll see how it goes tonight...

Always check out a vehicle before getting in.

Let's go, Dad!

Don't spill the water!

Mmmm....fish crackers.
