Today was the actual 4th of July parade for our neighborhood. After being up until midnight last night at our neighbor's house, we let the girls sleep in and once they were up, it was time to get ready to go to the parade, again. We loaded everything up and off we went, but this time, we had balloons for the bikes. When we got to the middle school, there were about 50 people there. This is more like it! We got in line and the parade started. We walked and the girls rode their bikes to the park.
Once we got to the park, there was only cupcakes and cookies to eat and juice boxes and water bottles to drink. Usually, there is a snow cone machine, a tattooe station, water balloon games, and other kid-friendly activities to do. Today- nothing! Ok, I take that back, they did have a clown who was making balloon animals. He had quite a line! After about 15 minutes, people started realizing there was nothing else to do and started heading home. We would've too, except Megan's dog balloon popped, so she stood in line again to get another one. We got home about 11. Hopefully, they will put more effort into the event. I would've surely helped if I had known they needed it!
