Our neighborhood celebrates the 4th of July each year with a parade and carnival. We had gorgeous hot weather this year and both kids had a blast participating in the parade, going for pony rides, taking a trip on the train, and much, much more. Did I mention that all of this is free?!? Our good friends The Gilberts joined us for the celebration. Grace loved having her buddy Eli along for the fun!
We had our very own cheering section!
After Grandma and Boppo saw us come by in the parade, they headed to the pony rides to get a spot in line. We ended up at the very front which was so great because most people had to wait in line at least an hour. We got there a little before the ponies were ready, so we still had to wait a few minutes and everyone took turns "containing" Charlie. 
Grace hopped right onto her horse this year, and had a great ride with "Stormy". 
Charlie, on the other hand, was not so sure about this large moving creature was sitting on.
had her first taste of cotton candy (and ate the WHOLE THING!),
played in a bouncy house (she actually went inside this year),
and spent lots of time playing chase with Eli. 
It was a very fun afternoon!

And by the end...
