Every fourth of July weekend, our neighborhood has a 4th of July parade from the middle school to the park. Kids decorate their bikes/ wagons and everybody waves flags. After everybody walks the 10 blocks to the park, they have snow cones, tattooes, cookies, juice, and other fun stuff for the kids to do. We've gone every year and it's always fun.
Matt and I noticed this week that there were signs up at the neighborhood entrance that said, "Parade, Saturday, July 2nd, 10 am." So by 9:30, we had the bikes and wagon decorated with streamers and we were ready to head to the middle school for the start of the parade.
We got to the school about 9:50 and looked around, there were two others kids there on their bikes. So, we unloaded the bikes/ wagon and kept waiting. About 9:55, another family showed up. We though something was going on, so Matt went over and checked the sign again and we were right.
About 10:10, nobody else is there. :( One of the kids calls his dad and said there is nothing set up at the park either, his dad also said it is Monday, not Saturday.
So unfortunately, we loaded the kids back up and came back home.
I guess we'll try again on Monday! But Matt said we are going to get more streamers and balloons for the bikes. There is always a competition for the best-decorated bike, he wants to win. Hopefully more people will show up on Monday, I don't know how I was supposed to know it was on Monday!
