Busy on the Fourth!

To celebrate the nation's birthday this year, we went to Gram's and Granddaddy's house. Their county has festivities each year at the county seat which include an arts and craft show, a parade, and some good fireworks. The kids have always enjoyed going to these things. I am hoping that it is because they feel good living in such a great country and want to celebrate that, but I am pretty sure that it is because of the snow cones and the candy that they throw out at the parade.

This is Princess with her cousin M who is only 5 days younger than her. Unfortunately, my baby is going to be quite a bit shorter than her! We have pictures of them together as babies when they were actually about the same size, but as the get older, M gets taller and taller!

This is Princess with her cousin G who is one month younger than her. Once again, look at the difference in height! Anyhow, they are practically out in the street about to be runover by the floats because they want at any candy that is thrown first.

Superman was content to sit on Daddy for a little while, until some candy was thrown (see picture below). You can see his snow cone all down the front of his shirt. I thought that it was ruined after he also played in the dirt at the house, but thanks to Oxiclean, we have a white shirt again.

Superman going after the candy! He would sit on Daddy until candy was thrown acting all hot and tired, but as soon as he saw candy, he was on the run to get it!

The fireworks lasted nearly 40 minutes. This is Princess, Superman, and cousins M and B "dancing" to the "music" created by the popping. It was great!
