Happy Birthday USA (a little early...)

We had such a fun time Saturday at the annual Freedom Festival Parade. Last year it was quite scaled back and held out at Kirkwood after the flood, but this year it was back in full force downtown.

The kids loved the beads, the bracelets, the freeze pops and THE CANDY!! A candidate running for mayor here in CR had staffers handing out bags for candy ahead of time. Will thought that was a good sign :). It was and they both gathered their fill.

The Marine Corp band was also a hit. The precision and music is amazing!



I'm thankful for the beautiful day we had and the gorgeous weather we had Sunday and looks like we'll be having the rest of the week. I'm excited to have Thursday & Friday off before the 4th and then just one more week of work before the lake! WOOHOOO!
