Then we took the kids to McDonalds for lunch (gag). Then we went to a little hidden park in the neighborhood which I grew up in. There was an inflatable water slide for the kids and then we also played some of this:
And some of this:
Then we had a big one of these:
And we finished off with first our own show and then the parks show of these:
A great time was had by all. The only bad part was me forgetting to put sunscreen on myself. I got a little sunburned (if you count my nose being SUPER red, my eyes and lips being swollen and my neck being fried as little) it never fails....I always forget about myself!! Oh well--it was great fun and I can't wait until next year!!

Pretty much all I have to do is just think about going outside and I will get sunburned. Sunscreen or no sunscreen. All it does is make me a little less red.
I always forget to put on sunscreen. UGH
Glad you had a great fourth! I am so white that if I sunburn I just peel and somehow I end up whiter than before...go figure...
McDonalds is delicious!!
Oh Kristina--NO, NO, NO!! It is gagalicious. Seriously--I would rather cut off my own arm than eat there!!
Sounds like a GREAT day had by all...minus the sunburn! Sorry about that one!! Love the festive shirts!
Frankly I'm just impressed w/ how nice your girls' hair looks! What's your secret? I nanny for 4 kids, 3 are girls, and I'm lucky if I get a brush through each of their heads each day!
Yaya--
My secret is that I threaten them. Not viciously but if they don't get their hair done they can't go to the parade and so on. They are pretty good about it though and they have learned that when it is hot outside--they want it braided or up or something so they are not so hot!!
Sounds like a lot of fun! Your family is so sweet!
so....what were you doing that one year you couldn't make it to the parade???
Your kids are darling!
I didn't know lips could swell up from being sunburned?!!
I think that's pretty cool that you have only missed one parade in all of those years!
I LOVE croquet!!
Rychelle-
I was working at a shoe store in the mall.
Sounds like a lot of fun. Glad you had such a wonderful day.
The pics of your kids soooo cute! It looks like you all had a great day, well, except for the sunburn!
It sounds like a great day and love the pics of the kids!
what, McDonald's is Gag? Come now! ;) Sounds like a spectacular day. We haven't celebrated properly in years.
Sounds like you had a wonderful, wonderful time!!!! Loved the pics of the kids before the parade--they are SO cute!
Blessings!
Great pics, glad to hear you had a great day!
Glad to see you had a great time!
I hate parades, we go, we do it, we stick in the hot sun, we still do it! For hours. ugh! YOu a die hard woman!
Sounds like y'all have an awesome time!

I love those family traditions that you enjoy year after year! You really have the sweetest family!
Glad the holiday was a good one.
It sounds like the perfect day! I would love to see a parade!!
(boo on the sunburn! Hope it feels better soon!)
Ari--
You are ALWAYS invited!! Anytime you want.
Sounds like a great time, glad you all had fun! :)
I love family traditions! I'm glad you take the time to go and create those memories with your kids! They'll grow up with fond memories! The sunburns are worth it :0)
Tink-
I love family traditions too. The parade is one of my favorites. And yes--the sunburn was worth it!!
My thing is that I don't forget about myself with the sunscreen thing. I just am too freaking tired to put any more on any one, including myself!!!
Sunscreen can suck the life force out of me.
