It's a Happy 4th!

Happy 4th! Time for the Leesburg Parade!

We had our great group of friends join us for the parade and lunch this year. Everyone met at our house and we marched downtown Leesburg for the annual parade. We found a perfect shady spot to park all 18 of us. We managed to snap a group photo before the parade started (first time ever). We were just missing the O'Shaughnessy's.

Cody P, Kellan, Henry, Wes B, Wyatt B, Sylvie L, Brady L, Luke P, Emily and Ethan P.

Love the line of strollers with kids patiently waiting for the parade to start. Kellan says to me in one sentence "Mommy I'm scared is there candy?" The Halloween parade can be a bit scary for a little one with all the masks. I promised him there wouldn't be any scary masks in this parade. Good thing there wasn't! We did get lots of candy too!

Henry sat nicely with his lollipop, but then needed to stroll the sidewalk a bit.

It got a little nutty in the house with 10 adults and 12 kids, so not many pictures were taken. We did manage to snap one of the boys eating their lunch. It was a fun and crazy day!
After everyone left, we napped and geared up for another round of eating and fireworks. Our neighbors, the Brown's came over for a cookout and the Wood family joined us for dessert and fireworks. Henry was in bed for fireworks, but Kellan stayed up and loved them. Last year we watched them from the window because he didn't like the loud booms, but he did great this year. Growing up!
