celebrating the 4th

Waiting for the parade (melting in the sun....oh, my, was it ever HOT!)

Standing in the shade now and then while we waited

Sitting in her sister's seat, drinking from her sister's cup.  She wants to be big so badly....

Here comes the parade!

She loved the firetrucks, even though you can't tell from this picture.

After being in the air conditioning the rest of the day, Rachel and I went to the fireworks last night (still too late for Rebecca--maybe next year).  Rachel loved her glow wand and sparkly pinwheel headband--we forgot to get it out for the parade, but she wore it for the rest of the day at home, and then to the fireworks.
