Small town parade...

For the Fourth of July were beat the heat and headed up north to celebrate with family. We had a fun time with family. I cannot explain how much all the cousins love to play with each other. On Saturday morning we all went to the parade. The weather was great and all the kids were entertained. The parade on the other hand was a typical Show Low Parade. Long with a bunch of, I guess you call them floats? If you count a car with an American flag flying out the window a float then yes, it was a great parade.

I was concerned that it might be a rough morning with Laine, but I was wrong. The cute little thing slept through 90% of the parade. Bode had a rough start though. We learned that just because sun screen says "no tears, no sting" it doesn't really mean it. He got some sun screen in his eyes and cried the whole drive down to Show Low. His eyes were all puffy an swollen for a little while. Add that to his scar and cut on his cheek from jumping on the tramp, he was looking pretty beat up that morning. Good thing he had dad's sun glasses to make it all better.
