On the 4th we went to the local parade. We went last year and discovered that the kids bring plastic bags to collect all of the candy that is thrown by the entrants. Joshua really enjoyed that part and remembered to bring his own bag this year. This was Abby's first real outing that wasn't to an appt., other than an appearance at her shower the weekend before. She looked very cute in her patriotic dress and never left her carseat which was in the stroller. She was covered by a blanket the whole time and she slept through the entire thing. But it was nice to get out as an entire family. Joshua wore a t shirt he painted with potato prints. Then later in the afternoon Mark and Joshua went to see Wall-E. We finished the day by bar-b-queing brats, having watermelon and making homemade vanilla ice cream. No fireworks this year. It's hard to wait up until 10 when it's finally dark enough to see them.
