4th of July


DJ and I were so excited to take Karson to the 4th of July Parade this year.  Last year he was too young to get it.  We are lucky, the parade goes right past Aunt Katie's parent's front yard.  Every year, we sit in their yard, under shade umbrellas, and enjoy the parade. No dealing with traffic.  No finding a spot to sit. So nice!

Aunt Kaite & Uncle Shawn are home from their Honeymoon, and brought 'big orange' to the parade.  Karson got to drive it while we were waiting for the parade to start.


He had so much fun. The shy smile never left his face.


hey, what is back here?




He got so excited when he found things he could play with, and not get yelled at.


He had so much fun.  I have a video of him driving it before the wedding. Someday I will upload it. :)


Having a snack while we waited for the parade to start.


 Mommy forgot his hat. Not that he would actually wear it.  But I felt bad.  Doesn't he look hot?  It was partially because I had just put sunscreen on him, and partially because he was really hot.

Every time Aunt Katie tried to cover his hears, Karson got angry. Not because he didn't like his ears covered, because he wanted to hold Aunt Katie's hands and dance with her.


 We are so glad she is home from the Dominican!


We didn't let him have any candy, but we did let him grab the beads.  He thought he was pretty cool!


After the parade....we were all a little warm!


After the parade was done, we all went to the back yard and had a grill out.  It was two hours past Karson's nap time.  He walked over to Aunt Katie and Uncle Shawn, curled up with them, and fell asleep.


After Aunt Katie got up, Uncle Shawn fell asleep too. :)

 
After the parade we went home, played in the back yard, and grilled again.  

Then we all went to bed really early!

Now I can't wait to see how much more he enjoys it next year!
