Josh showed his English pride at the 4th of July bike parade.
Probably not the most appropriate day to wear his beloved shirt!
Sadly, none of us even made the connection until Linda commented on it--even then it took us a minute! We'll try to do better next year!

Our 4th was great!
We started off with a pancake feed and bike parade.
It's my favorite way to kick off the holiday!
The boys were bummed that they didn't win a prize in the drawing at the end, but their bikes looked great and Josh even got his picture on the newspaper website!
It felt like an overall win to me!
We also spent some time hanging out with Grandpa J and Great Grandpa, and then I took the two boys without casts swimming for a bit.
Our evening was spent at the Country Club, where there was an ice cream social and a fabulous fireworks display.
We rounded out the night with a quick trip to my Grandpa's where we parked and watched all the surrounding fireworks go off.
That 20 minutes may have been my absolute favorite of the whole day--just sitting quietly with my three little chicklets.
I love the 4th!
It's such a mellow, laid back holiday--the epitome of summer!
