Hope you had a happy and safe independence day--I did!
I went to the parade my community has held every year since 1974; there were 76 entries this year!
The weather was great and we had a great time waving to everyone who passed by. Everyone loves a parade!
It certainly makes me proud of our country and the many freedoms we enjoy....I thought I'd share a few photos to give you a small taste of this wonderful parade. Enjoy!

The parade begins with the color guard and the grand marshall leading the way |
Land of the free and home of the brave |
The Grand Marshal Sue Norris, one of the founders of the parade in 1974 |
Our neighborhood was represented.... |
.....and entertained the crowd |
Our neighborhood swim team participated--that's my daughter with the sign |
there she goes |
and the rest of the team close behind |
and there they go! |
a local church-affliated private school |
a local fitness company--they pulled the truck along the parade route!!! |
