4th of July was a hot one this year and likely the last time we'll attend our local parade and I can't say I'm sad about that one. It was so hot this year that Austen and I had to take multiple breaks to go stand in the shade or I swear we would have melted right there on the spot. Couple that with the fact that our whole family hasn't watched the parade together in about four years and you kind of ask yourself what's the point!
The last three years, Peyton and Tom (and Hailey the last two) have walked in it as part of the Indian Princess group and the year before Austen had an all star baseball game so I took the girls. Anyway, next year is a time to start new traditions up at our beach house in Michigan. More on that in future posts.
After the hot parade, we cooled off with a Starbucks beverage and had an early dinner before having some cocktails and desserts with friends before the fireworks. However, a storm blew in right as we were going to leave for the fireworks and they were abruptly canceled and rescheduled for Friday, July 6. So we had a redo with friends that evening. Here's a glimpse our patriotic day:
 |
| Peyton was hot and wanted to exit the parade and go home with me not even halfway thru |
 |
| Tatoos and all! Check out those stars and stripes pockets! |
 |
| Well at least Hailey was smiling...or maybe she was laughing at the funny headdress Tom had to wear as the future chief of Indian Princesses! |
 |
| Starbucks break! Nice and cool! |
