July 4th

Tara & I woke the kids up early on the morning of July 4th so that we could get to Fenton on time to stake out our parade location. We managed to secure a large enough section that all of our friends and family could join us, even with a little bit of room to spare. The kids all enjoyed the parade, but they were disappointed that they didn't get much candy! Being stationed near the end of the parade route doesn't help, as most of the candy gets handed out right at the start. After the parade was over we wandered around the downtown area for a bit, where the local bank was handing out free root beer floats, one of the churches was giving away sno-cones, and the local photography store had a photo booth set up for free. Once those activities were complete, it was time to head home before partaking in our next activity (see Page 2)!
