This year our fourth of July celebration was marked by rain, rain, and more rain. Actually, the day started off well with a neighborhood parade with the Prier clan. We had such a big group (2 wagons, 2 bikes and 2 babies), I barely fit us all in! Sorry for chopping your head off Bryan :)
Boy what a difference a year makes. Check out last year's pic of Braylon and Riley riding in the wagon together!
Plus, each family has a new addition. Zoe slept through most of the parade, while Macy enjoyed her ride from Daddy!
Braylon hammed it up in his Uncle Sam hat and he tooted his horn with pure joy!
Following the parade, we headed downtown for the kids' bike races. Tristan was in the first heat and won! Jason ran after him the entire way and never lost a drop of that diet coke!! Way to go Jason and Tristan!
Next, we hit the bounce houses and swing, grabbed some lunch and then headed home for a little nap. After nap, and between rain showers, Braylon and Bryan broke out the snap pops. Braylon really got a kick out of the snappers. He liked stomping on them to make them pop. (Another pic minus Bryan's head :)
And then, just as Bryan was getting back from a firework run, the rain came. It came down hard! Braylon and I were out in the garage watching the neighbors shoot off fireworks when it started. Needless to say, we didn't get out in that rain to shoot off our own fireworks. Turns out, Braylon doesn't really like anything but the snappers anyway.
Although it was dreary and wet, all was not lost. Braylon and I rescued a tiny frog who was washed into our garage. We gave him a temporary home and then released him in the backyard. I hope the little guy made it :)
