4th of July Party

Our ward/neighborhood put on an awesome pancake breakfast (complete with dutch oven eggs- yum!) yesterday morning. They even had a bounce room thingy which Audrey beelined for right after she finished eating.

Then after breakfast they had a children's parade and they even brought a whole bunch of cool stuff for the kids to decorate their bikes. They had streamers, flags, windmills, noisemakers, party horns, you name it (we were very sad to find out that during the water fight, someone stole Audrey's flag and windmill, but left the noisemaker and party horn. Why couldn't they have stolen the loud things?).


Decorating Audrey's Bike


The only wheels Kierra owns belong to her baby doll "schtroder." She was very happy with only 2 balloons on her stroller.


Like Audrey's fancy helmet, blowing in the wind?


(Sigh) My Rambo


Here's the crowd at the start of the parade. Audrey is the one in purple, checking to see how many people were behind her. We waited there at the beginning for her to loop around the neighborhood with everyone else, like a big girl. When she finally came near the end, Jeromy found her pedaling as fast as she could and in tears, saying, "I'm not as fast as them, Daddy. I'm not winning." Poor thing thought it was a race! We felt so bad!



There she is, almost to the "finish line." She didn't give up!

That seems AWESOME!! I personally really think that Jeromy looks quite dashing in his head gear. Looks like the girls sure had a blast too.
