Pre-school Parade

Today was the Independence Day Children's Parade at Anna's preschool. Anna and her friends were decked in red, white, and blue and excited about the parade. I'm not certain there was a deep understanding of what this holiday is about, though. When asked what country has a birthday on July 4, some of the children shouted out JESUS! At any rate, everyone had fun decorating bikes and scooters for the big event. Anna and her good friend Preston changed places in the lineup so they could be together. Policemen and firemen joined the parade (yes, the sirens were loud!), and after walking around the block, the children got to "tour" the firetruck. Once everyone was back inside, we enjoyed lemonade, chocolate chip cookies, and live music. The families and children all had a great time!
