4th of July Parade

The annual July 3rd parade in Madeira was missing the Erickson's this year.  The show went on though.  Mae really didn't want to go because of the loud trucks.  She seriously was in tears before we left.  She got it together and we took turns holding her ears.  By the end, she loved being there.  The weather was AWESOME - low 70's and low humidity.  It was perfect out there and I didn't want to leave. -T

Most of the kids were happy to be there

Then there's this kid

Anna had to work solo in getting all the candy for the family

Her arms have to be getting tired, don't they?

Indeed they were

Mom and Brooklyn enjoying the night

There we go - there's that pretty smile!

Too little too late - she didn't get much candy!  Thanks to Anna for getting us our fix

Who needs candy though when there's dogs to pet
