4th of July Fun!

Happy 4th of July!!

Ready to roll in the parade!

Watch out Uncle Sam, I stole you look!

She's just along for the ride!

Ready to march in the parade with Papa!

This year we had more fun throwing candy than collecting it!

Parading with Papa!

Patriotic princess!

I helped her navigate the crowd.

We always have fun at the church festival at the end of the parade... Danni loved having fireworks painted on her face.

She won five of these!

Playing the ball toss... thankfully, they weren't giving away gold fish!

Looks like an excellent restaurant!

Bouncer fun!

Super slider!

We both had so much fun on the inflatables!

Making necklaces and sparkler rings.

She takes her art very seriously.

I got to meet a cool police officer.

He even let me drive!  (Just kidding.. but I did get to mess with the lights!)

Danni and Suz made a very patriotic dessert!

We rounded out our visit with a swim in Papa's pool!!

The 4th of July is one of our favorite holidays! We love to spend it in Ventura with Papa - we always march in the "Push 'em, Pull 'em Parade" in our patriotic best!  Afterward, we check out the booths (and collect the free swag) at the Ventura street fair, and then play games at the church festival near the end of the route.  At the end of the day, we head to Thousand Oaks to watch fireworks from a church on the hill.  They had bouncers there for Danni and I to play on, and Papa made us a delicious picnic dinner.  It was a wonderful holiday!
