The Fourth

Oh....we love the fourth. We love the USA, our freedom, and those who have fought for it. Seriously, so grateful.

We started our day bright and early at the Arlington Fourth of July Parade. This is the 3rd year we have gone. It's a bit of a sacrifice to get there by 9am on a Sat...and it was hot...but it was worth it! Now it 's not the Macy's Thanksgiving parade...but it is perfectly quaint. And it reminds me why we have this holiday.

The kids standing as the flags pass by.

A local photographer asked if they could photo the kids. La and Hud may have appeared in a local publication. They were pretty cute...all red, white and blue...and totally "into" the parade!

You gotta love the statue of liberty riding a horse!

And it's just bonus if one of the "Wheelie-ing Elvi" gives you a high five!

And if you get your picture made with a clown....then it might just be the best 4th ever! I mean just look at Rob's face!

The drum line in all the marching bands is pretty much my favorite part!

Then we took in some fireworks at Southlake Town Square.

Gotta love Hudson's face in this one! He was impressed with the fireworks show. Lawson was still a bit unsure. She was so worried they were gonna be loud.

Love Hud's face on this photo!

Happy 4th everybody!
