July 4th

Our July 4th started early.
our oldest ran his first 1.5K race.
He did wonderfully despite the heat and humidity.

Next was the parade.
My son was in the parade again this year.
He rode his bike all decorated.

This year in the bike decorating contest,
my son's bike won the Mayor's trophy.

He drew pictures of tanks, army trucks, and
an army soldier for his bike.

His eyes were wide and his smile reached his ears.
His bike is stilled decorated and sitting in the garage.
Maybe by Halloween we will be able to remove the decorations.

A wedding reception and then fireworks
completed our day.

Happy Birthday America.
