happy 4th

We had a fantastic 4th of July. We joined the Cedros clan's extended family at the Eastmoreland parade - it's like the sweetest little bit of Americana - this lovely tree canopy neighborhood with hundreds of families getting together to march down the street. Moo and Sam's Auntie Brooke totally decked us out in decorations - I saw few who compared to our get-ups. Thanks Brooke!

E proudly rode his bike and did a bit of waving - the people along the route were so nice and friendly - all waved back. Baby Em rode with Tall House, Double Cup and had her own fringe going on.

After the parade, we had hotdogs and bomb pops and went back to the house for super fun gift bags from Brooke.

I think E's favorite moment of the day came when he learned how to use a red vine as a straw with pop.

We spent the rest of the day back at our house, outside with the slip and slide. The four of us slept in our bedroom with the air conditioner on - blocking out the fireworks and chilling our feet. It was a great day.
