This year goes down in the books as one of the best 4th of July's we've ever had. As some of you know, our neighborhood has a ridiculously fun neighborhood parade on the morning of the fourth - this year was the 22nd annual. The parade is filled with everything from the precision lawn mower team to the over 60's women cloggers to pogo stickers to jugglers. Truly, anything goes in this parade. Dave decided Bodie needed to be in this year's parade and that he should be a mini Uncle Sam. So I dusted off my sewing machine and sewed some goofy pants and we made a hat as tall as Bodie. We didn't realize how funny he actually looked until we sat him in the wagon and hammed it up for the crowd - he looked like a town Mayor. Check out the video we've included.
We were also lucky to have one of Dave's God sons, Dave Henderson, in town visiting us for the weekend. Dave joined in all of the 4th of July chaos, took a dip in the pool, and even went paddle boating at the Tidal Basin. Dave is a terrific guy and just graduated from college (just in case anyone is hiring!).
We sure are lucky to live in such an awesome country - yea America!
I don't know! I don't think Dave had enough red white and blue clothing on! Shish! Where is your patriotism?????
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until Bodie is 16 so I can ask him what he thought of his 'youth'. :-)
