Fourth of July Parade

One of the highlights of our Fourth of July celebration was attending Blanding's Fourth of July parade.

Our family always sits in the same spot. 

Me with some of cousins.

We even bought some face pain this year to share with everyone; it was a big hit!

This is a picture of me with my beloved Aunt Dutch. She is my grandma's sister.  I have loved this lady since I was born. She and I have always had a special connection. She is a great example to me of faith and happiness. I hope one day to be like her. 

There is always tons of candy thrown, fun floats/groups to see.

The kids love it when they get sprayed by the water hose.

The parade is a great addition to the crazy festive day.
