This morning was the 1st Annual Independence Day Bike Parade in Grandma and Papa's neighborhood. It was to start at 9 a.m. and we were getting a little nervous when a quarter to nine, we were the only ones out there. We decorated the wagon for James to sit in, and decorated Papa's quad which Paige sat on with Papa. Allie called her the Parade Princess. The girls threw tootsie rolls to the four parade watchers and some landscapers that were working in the neighbors yard. We ended up having quite a few kids turn out with their bikes and scooters all decorated. We had 3 quads and some dogs also. After the parade, everyone gathered in front of Grandma and Papa's house for popsicles (most of the kids hadn't even had breakfast yet...eh it's a holiday right????) Next year they are planning to do the parade and then do a breakfast after. I think that they are doing another parade for the 24th of July. The kids can't wait.
Here are some of the Parade participants

Popsicles for breakfast
Anything with wheels. James took over the neighbors bike. Daddy didn't want me to put this on the blog (his son on a pink bike). James didn't care. All he knew was that it had wheels and a horn, he was in heaven. 
Here is John pulling James. Allie started out pulling, but a lot of the kids were tired after the first little hill so the parade was only up one street. Blow kisses to everyone James:)
Here is Papa and Princess Paige, waving to all their adoring fans.
Here is Allie, throwing candy at the huge crowds that gathered to watch:)
