July 4th has always been a great day to spend time with family.Traditional parades and fireworks displays and BBQ. This year the fourth of July fell on a long weekend which gave us two days to celebrate our Independence. There is no better way than to celebrate than to do it two days in a row. So we put on our red, white and blue and celebrated!
Sunday we went to early mass, Kendall Marie was baptized and we had an excellent brunch with the family. So glad to share in Eric and Alina's special day. Next stop was the Fancy Farm parade.
We all gathered at grandmother Ann's house, bags in hand ready to brave the hottest day of summer to scramble over the parade candy and treats.

Two days prior to the parade Andy & I told Payton that we would be going to a parade and that she will have to catch candy and fill up her bag full of candy and treats. She was excited about the parade!So Sunday morning (the day of the parade) she woke up and the first word that came from her mouth was "Parade".
Did I mention this was at 5:00 am! Yes, 5:00 am! She was ready for the candy catching challenge!
Payton was so happy at the parade. She loves being aroung people, and she loves Candy so she was in heaven!
Te last float was Mickey Mouse and she started singing & dancing to "Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot Diggity Dog".
Day 1 of our Independence Day celebrations was in the books and marked sucessful!
Ready for day two! July 4th!!
