Patriotic Paraders!

Cutest little firecrackers!!

Wagon's all decorated and Danni was practicing her poses for the parade!

Silliness!

Handsome little patriot boy!

Yankee Doodle Danni!

I pulled the wagon all the way across the park... Danni approved of my hard work!

Smiling at everyone before the start of the parade!

Parading along!!

She kept yelling at me to slow down....

She'd Beast Face anyone who dared to talk to her...  And, she was fiercly guarding her fistfuls of candy!

I got a 'spin-wheel' ...

They had a giant slide at the street fair!

I almost got eaten by a huge shark!

She went down the big slide too!

I think she loved it!

Parading with Papa!

Post-parade gummi worm snack!

We took a dip in Papa's pool after the parade!!  :)

We celebrated the 4th of July with Papa this year in Ventura -- what an amazing trip!  The day started at the 'Push 'em - Pull 'em Parade' ...  we decorated our wagon and marched with a whole bunch of other kids (and dogs) down the parade route.  People threw all kinds of candy, beads, tiny flags, and frisbees - we had a blast collecting all of the swag!  :)  After the parade, we shopped the street fair...  We had a delicious lunch at Auntie Lynn's house, then went for a dip in Papa's pool.  After a looooong nap, we got to stay up late for a fun picnic dinner followed by our first fireworks show at Ventura College.  (Mommy didn't bring her camera!)  It was the BEST 4th of July we've ever had.... betcha this becomes a tradition!!  :)
