We had a busy 4th of July! We started it by going to the Parade downtown!
The police kicked off the parade in style! The police cars were a hit with Marley! She loved the lights and sirens.
Following the cars were the horses! A hit with both girls (especially MaKieley)!
MaKieley enjoyed seeing the band! She wants to know when she can be in that band.
Colter loved the band! He watched all the shiny instruments go by!
Marley had the best seat in the house! Right on top of her Daddy's shoulders.
There was a huge cake to celebrate America's Birthday! MaKieley wanted to know how they made such a big cake! (It was NOT a real cake :)
This was one of the cars John really liked and Marley thought the character riding in the car was funny!
MaKieley was particularly interested in these little girls. They sang all the way down the road! And danced too! She wanted to know how she could get involved with them before next year.
We were all having a great time watching the parade! MaKieley could not stop watching long enough to come take a picture with us.
Here is another car John REALLY liked!! :)
MaKieley enjoyed waving the flag!
This was one of the only times we were able to stop and look at us so we could take her picture!
There was a stage coach that MaKieley really liked!
A friend of ours played his bag pipes in the parade! It was very cool!
We all thought this old fashioned fire truck was very cool! John says it must have cost a lot of money to refurbish this truck.
Marley - once again watching those lights!
Our friends James and Patti along with their kiddos Eric, Emilee and Allison had a float to promote there MAZE. We love the maze and visit at least once a year (most of the times more)!
There was also a group of lawn mower pushers! MaKieley wanted to know why these people were so fantatical (fanatical) about their lawn mowers. And why Daddy did not paint his lawn mower red, white and blue. 
Marley got worn out watching the parade!
She also made a friend with a small dog.
Here is another old truck John liked!
The masked rider even rode through!
Followed closely by Raider Red!
MaKieley made sure she showed her Red Raider Spirit by giving a guns up to the Masked Rider and Raider Red!
The Police started and now ended the Parade!

The Police started and now ended the Parade!The parade was a lot of fun! Afterward we walked down to the Fourth on Broadway Street Fair! We had a turkey leg and some cotton candy and a snow cone and several other treats while we were there! Finally we had to take the babies home for a nap. While they napped we made lupper (a combination of lunch and supper). Mom, Dad, Tim, MaKieley, Marley, Holly, Colter, John and I all ate a great meal of Brisket, potato salad, baked beans, green beans, squash and ice cream! It was a great time. Later that night we watched the fire works from our front windows.
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE!!
