Independence Day

We stuck around here for the HOT holiday this year (noticing a theme this week.....HOT), took in a parade, and hung out with friends.  All in all, great day (minus the HOT part)!

We went to Forest Lake for their 4th of July parade.  FYI- this parade has been going on since 1924 and has never once been cancelled due to bad weather!  Check out this super cute, little old man driving the tractor, love his umbrella too!

Henry, sporting a sticker for his 6th district of MN congresswoman.

When asking Henry - what's your favorite part of the parade?  His response - "fro more canny" (throw more candy)!

"Big" high school lacrosse boys, whoa, really "big"!

The highlight of the parade, a bus!

After a long nap, we headed over to the Hausmann's for our annual 4th of July BBQ.

Ok, I cannot stop giggling over these pictures :)  He may look like he's in a terrible panic on the way down the slide, but he couldn't wipe the smile off his face or stop clapping after landing in that nice & cool pool at the bottom.   Pretty soon he'll be doing flips down the slide, like his new buddy, Tommy!




After a delicious dinner, as always, onto the main event, FIREWORKS! 
(Good idea Henry, better hold on to that Anna's hand just in case you get scared.)


Thanks again, Hausmann's!

  1. Uncle Tee-Tee told me that according to those photos he doesn't believe that you had fun on that slide. I guess we will just have to take your Mama's word for it. :)
