4th of July

Warning: Grandma might not want to read this, or look at the following pictures. Major American flag items involved.
What a day!!! We woke up early on the 4th to get ready for the parade. The Racine Family Club was walking in the parade, and we had decorated our wagons and strollers the night before. We had to wait around for quite a while before the parade actually started, but once we started walking, it was a lot of fun. It was a 2 mile walk (mostly ok, but I didn't realize that Racine had so many hills, that made pulling a wagon with Rob and his friend Ethan kind of difficult). There were so many people there watching the parade, it was a little overwhelming. Rob waved a little bit, but mostly just looked around a lot. Racine apparently has the biggest 4th of July parade in the Midwest. Last night we decided to be brave and go to the fireworks display. We went to a gold course far enough away from the actual fireworks so that it wasn't loud, but we still had a great view. Rob seemed to like them, but he was pretty tired, so we only stayed for a little while. It was a very long day, but lots of fun.

Waiting for the fireworks.
